Plagued by memories like
thick phlegm
I can hardly breathe
My words come out warped
That thick weight sitting on my chest
My breaths come up shallow
Racked with guilt and sorrow
Each breath draws in
Translucent faces of phantoms
Transposed on the living
Head of blonde
Lopsided smile
Wilted green dress
Blue Hawaiian shirt
Chipped painted nails
Ghosts burning on glimpses
That shoot through my heart
But someday I’ll wake up from my dreams
and remember I’m alive
And they are too
