The Background Poem by Lubna Hazeem

The Background



Advertising you like a scene
No one has ever thought of or dreamed
Haunting shadows are starting to evolve
A vivid stream running through it all

And in the background i heard
The stainless wound of your words
Unlike all of choas i deplore
Your voice i couldn't possibly ignore
Singing the tune of the days i spent
Unsimplified by compliments
Oh, all the layers that covered me
Couldn't allow access to my needs

Now they're out on the streets
Shunning me with disbelief
While swinging out on swings
Trying to break through everything
Where there wouldn't be you....
Where i would be soon.....

Oh, in the background i heard
A voice i've deeply censored
A reminder of wrongs and faults
A reminder of an irreplacable loss
All this guilt is a huge lump of stone
That your shadows still linger upon
And when tommorow comes
You'd still be....my only one, oh...

In the background of me
In the background.....
