Haunting Melody: A Poem

Such a soothing cadence to your voice
Talk to me all night
Drone on about anything you like
Rehash your madcap adolescence
Exaggerate in all the predictable ways
Explain your slapdash philosophy
Tell me the plots and schemes
Of your most boring dreams
Your tall tales, your misremembered fables
I don't care what you say
Your voice has a haunting melody

From my book Gothic Souls. This one was fairly popular when I first posted it on Instagram, but I don’t think people picked up on the sarcasm.
