The Haunting

I think I have been haunted
By a girl that I saw.
She was young and fair
Long golden blonde hair


I saw her for a flash
As I drove down the road
A dark picture
On a stick
Flowers and a cross.


Could it really be
That someone so young
Fell dead at the side
Of the road,
On the way to the
Casino?


So I googled her fate:
"Dead girl Rama Road Casino"


She was 23 with a future
That I got to live
These past 26 years-


Two kids, a home, 4 cats, and memories-
And she didn't- She is gone;
I got to live; she got to 23.
[does it even matter?]
I feel her presence


And somehow


I think I have been haunted
By a girl that I saw.
She was young and fair
Long golden blonde hair.
