Ghost of a memory
You’re like a ghost of a memory
no longer solid in form
just a distant wispy fog
that rests at the bottom of my heart and soul
If you’d have asked I would have said yes
no matter the question
I wanted nothing more than for you to be in my life
just wanting to see you, feel your soft gentle touch
smell your perfume, and taste your kiss again
At times you would say things that would catch me off guard
you only ever felt when you were drinking
my mind would race until I asked about it
but you said it was never about me
never an explanation
I don’t know why but I always allow you to hurt me
your words, like submergence in freezing water
stinging like a million tiny needles
I lose my breath, my heart pounds
but I can never share this with you
you’ll call me dramatic
you don’t even know what you do to me
I don’t know how much more I can take
before I give up and try to forget you
moving on from you is never easy
I’ve tried before and we always cross paths again
I thought this time was different, but the end will be the same
I’ll never forget you, for you will haunt me like a ghost
like a ghost of a memory.
