The whispers left behind
from those already passed
seem oversaturated with their character
and cloyingly personal
eerily welcoming:
understanding
kind
like they want to start a conversation
,but you end up crudely snubbed by these dead
because no matter how
hard you try
they’ll never respond
so you end up almost hating the corpse
for not answering
never
returning your calls
like they are on a vacation
but forgot to set up an out-of-office reply
and you check yourself
and remember that you can’t blame the
ghosts for leaving you alone
because they wouldn’t have gone
if they knew you couldn’t do it on your own
