I took a glance at my insanity.
You were there…
No look. No chance. Such vanity,
That humanity couldn’t care.

I took a glance upon my heart.
You were there…
No shaken lance. No cut, no part.
That tartful taste I wouldn’t dare.

I took a stance: forgetfulness.
You were there…
No loss of thoughts. Mistaken miss.
That “dreaming kiss” I sought to square.

I can’t forget you, I stopped trying.
For sanity I kept on lying.
All that stayed is steady pain.
Steadfast strife. A cold wet rain.
I’ll not forget what feelings had.
Continued hauntings…
They make me glad.
