Ecstatic Haunt
Can't be Dreaming

Without heartbeat or breath you showed up and started your haunt

Gave me memories and scents so real from 20 years past
I could see your dress and pattern to start, colors innocent

Then over days you brought intensity to be a wounding

Feel your dress fabric, texture against my skin as once
I could not stop you as I drank and inhaled all you were

Daytime brought, lost sanity, spirit, questions self

Each night some 30 past now I placed my ear to pillow
Yearn for sleep to welcome you, nightly more rapid arrive

Find you, a many, but always the same, imagine your taste

Predetermined your travels to me, now you advance anew
Our hands touched tonight, sorrow, weeping my loss

Apart in worlds but here together

I won't leave you again, no matter the cost
Take me tonight, don't leave me again
Lover from teens, returns after decades lost

— The End —
