Interpreting Ibsen

by hayley*virgo - Aquarius

Tonight I am lonely.
Three ghosts are my only company.
(and they just came by to remind 
me of some unfinished business I 
have yet to settle)
I did not invite them over.
But once they came inside,
I felt obligated to offer them
each a cup of coffee.
I make great coffee.
Now they don't want to leave.
Ghost number one is reminding me 
of the fact that I forgot to say
good-bye to someone I loved.
Number two is hounding me about
an apology letter I never answered.
The third has her eyes set on my ex-boyfriend
and wants to know when it will 
be okay to start seeing him.
I am silently praying that they will leave,
but number two decided they should
all spend the night.
I don't think I'll sleep well 
with their constant prattle
and knowledge of my history.

Reason for writing:

    I think of my haunting memories as my ghosts; I guess this
poem doesn't make a whole lotta sense, but...whatever.
