“A View From the Other Side” by Kaleo Plascencia

“A View From the Other Side” by Kaleo Plascencia
May 18, 2020 Nā Leo Literary Review

I roam around, like a lonely wolf

Just for you to notice me.

Desperately trying to get your attention,

like a puppy asking for attention.

Darling you look so pretty when you’re asleep,

almost as an innocent child, 

But for God sake you’re a fallen angel.

Why don’t you tell them?

Tell them what you did, 

go ahead, please.

Share with them the cold white lies,

The lies that haunt you every night, 

Don’t they creep you out?

You know you can’t ignore them for long, right?

Do you miss me?

How come you can’t see me?

I’m not just a shadow that haunts you. 

Darling, can’t you see I am lonely without you

Please don’t ignore me anymore

For I have seen the future,

And soon you’ll roam around with me

Drifting happily ever after through the wind of your filthy lies.
