My Ghost

Folder: 
My Broken Heart

He possessed my soul
and called it his own.

 

He was a phantom,
his presence but a whisper.

 

I'm haunted by his face
as it replays in my dreams.

 

I still feel his kisses
tickling my neck.

 

His love was an illusion;
a ghost of my longings.

 

His shadow stalks me
as I try to walk away.

 

I see the open door,

but he holds me back.
