haunted

her name haunts me, and it is not only her name any more. it's everyone's name, every face from my past and from my future answers by that small, once meaningless word. it comes crashing down shaped like a loose piece of my past that never belonged there. it haunts me when i dream awake, revealing itself through impossible possibilities. it invades my inner worlds, the ones it should never invade. a siren's call, a song out of darkness pulling me towards the abyss. and above all, regret.
