It's Everywhere

I live in a haunted city
every corner, ever street
festers with intentionally forgotten
memories.
the whole city
overflowing
with familiar faces
with misplaced names
an infection of memories
a plague of phantoms

I see faces.
they remind me of someone
I know (miss & love)
but it's never them
no matter how hard I search
it's never ever them.

just infected ghosts
haunted memories
created to torture me

it's everywhere
