One, and two, and...

A Poem by Somebrownnerd
"

Staying up so late, I used to be fake.

3 am waltz,

circling ghosts we could live without.

Each sultry step,

pegs another ripple from the old days.

Fighting heart pains,

masked in a smoke haze.

Bending an arch above sensitive topics.

Twisting and touching, the last note has twanged.
