Haunting Me

Haunting me
Like a dream
Of broken sleep;
A night of passage
In discarded light.
Continued in my day of commonplace
With sins of a sharpened knife.
I, alone, walk with remembrance.

Of a simple life
The kind that did not care,
That lived for the sake of living.
The kind that was happy with happiness,
That lived for each moment
And died for each soul.
And after all,
Isn't that what it's all about?
