Carrying Your Ghost #28

This sadness

Was a sickness

That I was

In love with

All these

Years

Maybe because

I was angry

At me

At you

At GOD

Or maybe

Just because

I thought

It was all

I had left

Of you

Besides this

Tattered obituary

Fading to yellow

In the back

Of my notebook

But I’ve decided

To try

To let it

Go

Not to

Forget you

Or because

I’ll ever believe

That your leaving

Was ok

But because

I want

Your memory

To always be

A good one

Because

I want

To spend

The rest of

My life

Thinking of

You

And smiling

So that when

Someone

Anyone

Looks at me

In my eyes

They will

See

A little

Of you
