Ghosts

April 26, 2013
I am left staring at your ghost of a smile, Until your lips find mine And take me away To another thought, To no thought. Only a hunger for more Of you, of me, For both of us together. I shiver, pull away. Not ready, Unsure of myself now, A bit unstable, unsteady. I’m lost in this fall, This movement towards something I do not know. Darkness chews light to shreds, Leaving nothing for my body to fall into As I am overcome, Engulfed, swallowed In the realization that you have Lost, forgotten, dropped me. I’ve become nothing more than a ghost.
