Haunted

Haunted

Haunted
To walk down the bend
And imagine I saw you just beyond 
To turn in the cold
And imagine your hand reached for mine
To mumble in my sleep
An imagine you listened to my every word

To look your way
And imagine a million reasons it is possible
To look away
And see a million reasons it will never work
To toss and sway
And wonder why I can never settle for one or the other

To love and fear
And know one must subdue the other
To watch the clock tick
And know I can never push back time
To see you disappear beyond the bend
And know I may never see you again
