Operator Speaking by Zachary Constantine

you don't belong in my mind
  with your pained look, alive
 like a pale, smiling specter
   grinning, taunting my fright

"Now leave!" - and you delay
  ether walking the halls
 unlocking doors and loosing
   a dirge-lead procession, memories

it's been so cold since last
  you sobbed, back-hand
 slew comfort, leaving
  a scar for every soft word

cornered, questioned
  your reply is a glare
 how could I dismiss you?
  already alone, no solace
