I wrote this poem a while ago and today I felt like uploading it XD This is the first poem of mine, apart from one that was published in a book when I was eight, that the general public has seen so it's pretty nerve-racking for me O.O Anyhoo, enough rabbiting on! Edit: just to fix some grammar.
………
The Ghost of Her
You're in love with a ghost
The ghost of her
A fragile remnant
Of what you were
She haunts this place
Her name unsaid
But it's still there
Inside your head
Must I remind you
That she's not here?
But you don't listen
Your mind unclear
The girl you knew
Has lost her mind
Her self is dead
Left far behind
A memory
Is what she is
There's no one there
To return your kiss
Even now for her
Your love runs deep
But the time has come
To leave ghosts to sleep
Instead of her
You could have me
Who's still alive
To hear and see
You wouldn't be
Betraying her
You can love twice
We could be together
I love you more
Than I can say
I wish I knew
If you felt that way
Sometimes I think
You truly do
You smile and praise me
In what I do
Then suddenly
A change of mood
You'll shut me out
And sit and brood
I want you to
Come back to life
Don't drown yourself
In pain and strife
We're shadowed by
The ghost of her
She's in your mind
As you remember
Your eyes are shut
Not letting you wake
Open them soon
Or I'll shatter
and break.
