Fantastic Phantasm
You’ve come back, but I no longer need you.
Fantastic Phantasm; _yearning_ for me.
I’ve left you behind as the cold and shrewd,
your hold on me, forever _engrossing_.
You’ve come back, in an unexpected way.
Memories mislead me; a mist of murk.
_Intentionality_—the way you stay,
In an attempt to make everything work.
Loss _lamently_ laughs; harken in the humor.
A seraphic soul, the journey begins.
The angels trumpets blow, the night bloomer
You’ve come back, once more for the final time
I found resolve; now I can say _goodbye_.
