My memory is a shadowy ghost <br />That I cannot dispel <br />Or a dark car driving me down <br />Unhappy streets I’d like to avoid. <br /> <br />When I think tears have dissipated <br />And a sunrise of genuine smiles <br />Is over the horizon, you reemerge <br />In lonely dreams and I awake <br />With a heavy heart and a wet face. <br /> <br />From the night of insufferable separation <br />When you told me you didn’t love me <br />Until all these purposeless years later, <br />I have been a breathing corpse <br />Unable to find a grave. <br /> <br />Yet, you are around me <br />Like the dense air of a humid night, <br />You have soaked your presence <br />Into my eternal pores. <br /> <br />I’ve sung so many laments, <br />But I don’t know where I’ll be <br />When I finally succumb to silence.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unable-to-find-a-grave/
