Ten Year Ghost

I'm already losing you 
Losing yourself to them
Endless people that surge.
You're blissing out in cafe veins 
With delusions of growing
Somehow by their names.  
                I cannot ride
the social pool 
loosely gaining faces astray 
falling in on endless hives 
with lukewarm receptions
& manual chairs
automatic invitations 
lost in their stares.

I am a stranger
Not unknown
merely waiting 
for time to turn back, 
for your energy 
to receive me with immediacy 
as if miraculously 
this war was over 
and finally 
I stood before you still alive
