Not Just a Haunting in Connecticut

& no matter how i try,

something always ling(haunting haunting)ers.

ghosts are prevalent in this

ivory-and-entrails cage:

the faint wailing of

memories long

long

suppr(in order to

survive)essed;

the fading sobs of

who she used

to be(she can

never

go back);

the rushed

and worried

breathing of

who she will come

to be(unknown);

the shattering echos

of a heart once

untouched(once

pristine),

now disfigured;

these unsettled and wandering

spirits are plentiful.

constantly swirling

and constantly fighting,

grappling over who will be

victorious.

there is no calm

to be found

here.

only resigned

acceptance.
