Broken hearts write the best poetry
Burning
Did I see your eyes gleaming in the shadows,
Did I hear your gentle voice as I passed an empty room,
Did I sense your movement next to me in the middle of the night,
I reached out to the cold emptiness of where you used to be.
Did my heart hesitate and refuse to beat,
All these fervent emotions you abandoned to me
Have decided to descend upon me in this burning moment of eternity….
….Amongst the scattered corpses of love

“Well, no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well, no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it’s too late to say you’re sorry
How would I know, why should I care?
Please don’t bother tryin’ to find her
She’s not there
Well, let me tell you ‘bout the way she looked
The way she’d act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she’s not there”- Rod Argent
I break every once in a while,
with my head buried in pillows,
or mouth covered with my hands
on the bathroom floor.
Till my eyes turn red and nose pink,
till I cannot breathe anymore,
and my heart sinks deep within.
Till I choke on my tears,
my voice becomes heavy
and my throat sore.
With my face swollen, I cannot see.
And I do not know how to rise
from this, I keep burning in my
own ashes, I’m no pheonix;
I do not know how to heal.
Observe our cinematic heritage long enough and you may notice that, collectively, motion pictures teach us about ghosts. A haunting is merely a ghost busy at work trying to make the ending of any human experience better. Or kinder. Or smarter. Or happy. Or maybe a proper haunting will sufficiently alter circumstances so that there actually is no ending.
In the midst of a haunting we may witness demons and monsters at work, but if that ghost is actually an angel, then every bad spirit is ultimately vanquished by human kindness, decency, and selflessness. We find the happy ending through true moral courage, which is defined as optimism in the face of the worst.
I never suspected that Tarantino would be the filmmaker prepared to celebrate this idea, but there it is. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a ghost story, one that breaks hearts and lifts them up. All in the effort to haunt that place until the happy ending arrives.
Is it real? Well, ghosts are real, aren’t they?
