Ghost
My mind is haunted by you.
I hear your voice when you aren't there.
I see you in the faces around me.
And when I close my eyes, alone. . . .
I have tried, many times,
To exorcise you from my heart,
From the very corners of my head.
But you always return.
I am hopelessly yours yet. . .
You choose not to come and claim me.
So I watch your spirit cavort
Through the pieces of my heart,
Wondering what to do.
Haunted by you.
