next time around....I'll get it right

you haunt me.
in everything I do,
from my waking life to my lucid feverish dreams.

in groggy memories of the past that sweep over me,
brought on by scent,
and sound.

when will I let your ghost rest?

I shouldn't have let the trivial pettiness of loose friendships
invade the truth of what we had.
one day I will let it go.
just as I have let go of those petty people who called themselves friends.

all I can do is chalk it up to being young.
and eager for anything self destructive.
it was far easier to self destruct than be honest with myself.
or you.
