Haunted

Haunted

He haunted her

not quite Healthcliff/Cathy style

but all the same

for a suburbanite it was pretty troubling

Happy in her relationship

which is consistent, great, healthy

she does not allow herself thoughts of him

But in her dreams

control is lost

she bobs from one wave to the next

and there he is

Not even the real, flaky, scared boy she knows

but a beautiful ghost

he taunts her to jealousy

calls her to his side

She dare not go

he is not real

he is not good

he is lost

And all her phantom boy

is looking for

is someone 
to drag down to the depths

with him
