Phantom Poem by Argentine Tango

Phantom

Rating: 4.8


.....in silence
You asked me to watch
You self-destruct
in silence.....

Some images just don’t burn and
Helpless hands always yearn

I wipe my cheeks of phantom tears
‘til my skin’s rubbed raw by obsession
Just like you, their presence no more,
their past life hauntingly detected
