This town

By Chad

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Shuffling through grey mounds of memories  taken back to places which burn of past lives  of faces worn away to desperate grins  kissing at depressions cheek, too bashfull to touch lips  every movement is remembered, recorded, burned into memory.    On every corner, a ghost touches my skin  needles of a past, clawing to get in    Tied around my waist, the narrow minds beg for freedom  remembering the days when the sun once shined here  entranced by repetition, the cycle never broken  networks of unspoken truths swim lazily underneath  touching the surface for air when the drink runs out.
