Haunted

The eyes
that
never
left
me
I
feel
them
with
me
even
now
months
later.

"Larry,
can
you
stay
with
me?
I
don't
want
all
those
people."

My
heart
caves in
"yes",
I
say,
"Susan, too?"
"Susan too."

I
dream
of
you,
every night
and
in
the
day
I
cannot
tolerate
the
separation
you're
there --
your eyes
there --
all
the
time

my
heart
is
frozen
the
tears
will
not
come.
