Haunted by your absence
Even in your presence
Once upon a time
I called you mine
Now we just go through the motions
Long gone are the emotions
The fire burning inside
Slowly it faded and died
You conquered my heart
But you tore it apart
It was just a game for you
My revenge shall soon ensue
About “Haunted By Your Absence”:
This poem is a response to fellow blogger, Kevin’s, No Theme Thursday (Friday?) prompt post for this week. He has awesome NTT prompts every week, do check out his blog for more.
I was going through this weeks images and this one just stood out to me for some reason. Originally, it looked like romantic. But as I looked at it closer, I saw a sort of sadness in her eyes and a distant indifference in his. Maybe I’m overthinking it, I probably am because that’s sort of my superpower. But that’s what I saw.
For the last few weeks the lines “Haunted by your absence, Even in your presence” have been stuck in my head and when I saw this picture I just thought they went perfectly with it. The rest of it came to me pretty quickly too after looking at the picture. Love when that happens for a change lol.
