And You?

 
Thunder stalks the halls  
ghosts swirl through raggedy dreams  
as memories tiptoe in  
grounding their mark on my shore  
 
Your wraith fixes booby-traps  
an army of combers  
strung hungry along the beach  
eager to trap the ache  
of a battered driftwood heart  
 
And when she jumps  
your impossible fish  
startles without fail  
a flurry of kisses remembered  
through lifetimes refusing to heal  
 
Tears consign  
the might have beens  
to sigh out the night  
under sheets martyred 'till dawn  
the hug of time's venom  
crushing each maybe and perhaps  
pickling hearts in a jar  
 
All those could haves  
would haves  
should haves  
the tsunami of bitter sweet-nothings  
humbled to dust  
suffocating my soul  
while I wonder still--  
Could it be the same  
for you?
