Phantom Melodies
Can we trust
in these phantom melodies,
that haunt
the forbidden corridors
of the mind?
Were they
created by some musical genius
or just simply by chance?
Should we believe
their sad mourning call?
The cry of a thousand
saying goodbye.
The laugh of one crazed
by a life of loneliness and hate.
The tears of those
thought to have been innocent
laced with the blood
of the fallen and forgotten.
These things ensnared within a bar line,
captured within this lament,
for all to hear
for all to remember
and feel the pain
once more.
