Haunted
I’m haunted by unscheduled sounds.
I’m haunted by uninvited thoughts.
I’m haunted by what could have been.
I’m haunted by what almost was.
I’m haunted by what’s to come, or what won’t.
I had it all.
I had it.
I had.
I was.
I’m haunted.

I write poetry in my spare time, usually when something clicks or catches my attention. Just whatever feels worth putting into words.

Strongly negative; haunting, loss, absence dominate throughout.
Driven by anaphoric repetition; propulsive yet introspective rather than explosive.
Nine lines total; falls in 7-15 line range.
Central metaphor of haunting; abstract emotional states personified and sustained.
Pure lyric internal voice; introspective first-person reflection throughout.
