Haunt Me (Heartbreaker Duet #2)

Eden’s poetry

PARIS

BY EDEN ELLIOT

How you sang to me from the stage

(I’m not even sure you recognized me

So in your head I wasn’t even there)

How I remember every crack

In your voice

Every trembling breath

How your eyes looked for mine in the crowd

And held on to the mirage of me across the stadium

How they clung to me like a lifeline

As your voice wailed about cruel Saint Hope

Meanwhile I was writing poems in my hea d

And remembering the days

When I would play your songs by myself

Back when I was nothing to you

How it was like listening to a friend every night

During my darkest moments

How you were always there, like before,

How you were saving my life, like before.

How watching you struggle on that stage

(I’m not even sure you recognized me

So in your head I wasn’t even there)

While looking for me

In your darkest hour

I make a decision: It’s time to save yours.
