Lament for Ian Curtis

Lament for Ian Curtis

Your ghostly portrait on my wall.
My best friend.
But I never knew you at all.

The pensive sorrow in your eyes.
Gone for thirty years .
How quickly time flys.

When I am depressed and when I’m low.
Your lyrics inspire me and on I go.

From the shadows of Interzone.
Mournful mood swings.
We both are prone.

I understand that sense of isolation.
loneliness.
Despair.
And pure frustration.

I feel Closer to you.
My melancholic friend.
Your Unknown Pleasures.
Are a means to my end.

You lost control.
Love tore you apart.
My friend I never knew.
You touch me from a distance.
With your sombre art.
