Hey
Here’s a poem about my ex-best friend. The one that betrayed my trust and lied to me, the one that tried to take my life apart. And how I don’t wanna self-injure because of it but it’s so hard.
Peripheral Ghost
Everywhere I go
I see you in my side view
I can’t erase the ghost of you
Following me
Stalking me
Trying to fall away
From everything we used to be
Words unspoken
Bonds untying
Never saying
Everything I need to say
To make you understand my pain.
Tripping on the memories
Inside jokes and
Broken hopes
I can’t believe you broke my heart
And ripped my life apart
Peripheral ghost
Haunting me
I try to turn away
But you’re always standing next to me.
I tell myself
That you’re not worth it
That you aren’t worth everything that I’ve worked for
But late at night
Moonlight pooling on my ceiling
I can’t erase the thoughts and images.
Peripheral ghost.
