I follow the traces
in my mind:
some faces lingering there I find,
they have no names,
no voice, no visage;
forgiven but not forgotten
they hang on to haunt.
I try not to cast a glance
to come out of the momentary trance
but they continue to stay on:
as a faceless, nameless
obscure identity.
Mindful of those I move on,
swear not to turn back ever
yet being wary of their eerie existence.

Often happens na? Some random stranger's face lingers on in your head for long and long. and you try and rid it... but it doesn't go away.
it's a slightly weird topic for a poem. but very imaginative. and well put. :)

Some faces just don't leave us....
To ignore them becomes very difficult...

forgiven but not forgotten..'
