I
have
now lived
through an actual
plague &finally understand
why Italian Renaissance paintings
always have couches with

fat naked people

laying on
them

is it wrong for men to cry
or do we just think that way
I've seen guys cry
what's wrong with that
before being men
they are human
ghost Jan 2021
cold silky wetness touching my skin
sending a shiver through every limb
water dripping from my hair down my nose
cold wind through my jacket blows
hiding the tears streaming down my face
covering even the tiniest of space
tear-filled eyes becoming foggy
emotions drench every inch of my body
crying stops with the dissipation of the rain
a sudden downpour and we meet again
ghost Nov 2020
the dark is nothing to be afraid of
it's just the people within the dark
but don't expect me to be your light
I too was desperately searching for light
now my eyes are used to the dark
I feel as though the light is too bright now.
ghost Nov 2020
my hand
demands
blood
as I slowly fade into my dark thoughts
the part of my brain I hide
floods
into my heart
and I move forward
covered
and soaked
in blood

I'm not 𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔠

When is a kidnapping not a kidnapping?
You must think I'm a clown.
The answer is all over your face,
it's when you don't want to be found.

Your life is a mobile circus,
time to cut bait.
If you don't do it soon,
you'll catch a bullet in the breastplate.

Drop off the face of the earth,
now all worries are left behind.
You would do anything
to get out of this deadly grind.

no ghost shall fight a war
for the living
for a dead mans' war
are done
ghost Dec 2020
we're all sinners
some of us just learn
to accept
regret and overcome
our sins
while others live
their entire life bound
by the chains of their sins
repost
ghost Dec 2020
love is a feeling so mutual
with an ending so brutal
life's a game
were all the same
we have different names
yet were burning in flames
in the end
to death is where the angels send
so don't love
live
or feel
ghost Jan 2021
Exciting morning
A true, destiny walking
out of entity.
a haiku
ghost Dec 2020
the cigarettes smoke
make my perfect throat choke
****** soaked
written notes
pearly gates
humans fooled by saints
we all rolled a dice
we did it once
we did it twice
****
ghost Dec 2020
the music
                    of your voice
                                                the scent
of your lies
                              the warmth of your presence
            it has disappeared
ghost Feb 2021
Maybe I am a hollow tree with no leaves, with a family of owls living inside.
ghost Dec 2020
not everything that gets broken
needs to be fixed
sometimes letting the wind
carry away the shattered pieces
is the only choice you have
ghost Dec 2020
i use coffee to stay awake
when i sleep
i fade into our memories
than i see you break me
over and over
i see us together
than you leave me
an endless pit of darkness
you abandon me
i run after you
ghost Nov 2020
beautiful silence
beautiful pain
we're only human
we're meant to dream
lost in a life full of mistakes
we do what feels right
then fall with no grace
chased by the sun
escaping flatlines
dreams are a curse
wake up you're alive
ghost Oct 2020
"I love you"
such empty words
"I'll never let you get hurt"
such clear lies
" it won't hurt"
it did
they were all empty words
"I hate you"
hah...
that was my empty word
ghost Feb 2021
Don’t you ever want to run?
run away

A place you’ve dreamed
wished
But never been.

Somewhere no one knows you
A place that lacks judgement
Control
and doesn’t consume your soul.

To breathe its very air
heals all your despair.

By walking on its grounds
you discover new sounds.

Maybe it is real
Maybe it’s in our head

But I will forever seek for it
before I am dead.
ghost Feb 2021
Every breath that you take is another mistake
It must not be a sin for us to begin
Hold within every sin
Cleanse yourself before we begin
A procedure so dark and twisted
Curtains close on those who were listed
Every breath that you take is another mistake
Hold within your thick bruised skin
Cleanse yourself before we begin
A procedure so dark and twisted
It must be a sin for us to begin
"Every breath that you take is another mistake. Some of us are trapped in our own world wanting to break free to be exactly what everyone wants us to be. So many of us are so wrapped up in the wool that others pull over our eyes. It's no wonder that they all follow like sheep.

Whitewashed wall blue
colored turquoise grey-cyan absence
darkness was better than staring
Watching nothing while everything turned
sitting hollow and uncaring
stalking each shift of unsuspecting hue
Watching whitewashed wall blue
I went with the style abcdcaa of the Zainbac form of poetry
ghost Feb 2021
My existence has no merit.
I have nothing left but bones.
It’s nearing impossible to bear it.
No food, just sticks, and stones.

My guitar is a dying instrument.
No goals left to achieve.
The world is nothing but torment.
My life is one to grieve.

Life is but a dream.
All the memories are just a blur.
Clothes are tearing at the seam.
My speech is just a slur.

I hear footsteps coming near.
I don’t want them to know I’m here.

I came into this world expecting
nothing from anyone
just everyone
expecting something from me

let me look into your  eyes
they scream a story untold
and feel pain unknown
                                                   so let me ease it
as you stare back into mine
ghost Nov 2020
when you look into my eyes
are they as blue as the skies
or are they red as blood
as deep as the ocean
or a stream that lost motion
is there a story untold
or scenes that have yet to unfold
ghost Nov 2020
if we were a fairy tail
can I be the side character
just a normal life
we fall in love with
and live a happy life
no war
no evil stepmother
no poisonous apple
I don't want a knight in shining armor
just you and me
ghost Dec 2020
there was a puddle
on the floor
I could see myself
I
didn't know what I became
I seemed so lost
yet the people
around me didn't notice
my friend tugged my shoulder
said come on let's go
I realized
how fake they were
ghost Nov 2020
remember
even if you never wished to be in this family
your parents might've been crying for you to be here
so don't abandon them
blinded by your selfish desires
ghost Dec 2020
First rumble of dark thunderheads
were heard in the dark western sky
children were roused out of their beds
little Johnny started to cry
loudly screamed he didn't want to die
tightly clung to older brother
who said all was okay, a lie
as Johnny fled to his mother
8 syllables per line, ababbcbc rhyme scheme
ghost Dec 2020
Let your soul
Feel the luxury
Of the gold
In your heart
Let your mind
Feel the breeze
Of the peace
At the shore
Let your life
Feel it’s existence
At the bottom
Of the void
ghost Jan 2021
I have been trying to fake this tough girl,
just to make them see,
that even in this rough world,
they are no one more to me.

I say I'm ok,
When I'm nowhere close to fine,
I was falling apart,
but I covered up the signs.

But now I'm gonna let them see,
what I've done to me,
I'm tired and I just want to,
Feel those Tears,
running down my cheeks,
that I held back so long,
Because they'd said I'm weak.
I want to feel those tears,
feel them wet my skin,
They've lost for so long,
this time I want to let them win,
I want to feel those tears.

The anthem used to go,
I'm ok go away.
I know I'm broken,
I'm alive, I'm awake.

But I'm not gonna lie,
not today,
I know I'm broken,
but it's not too late.

But now I'm gonna let them see,
what I've done to me,
I'm tired and I just want to,
Feel those Tears,
running down my cheeks,
that I held back so long,
Because they'd say I'm weak,
I want to feel those tears,
feel them wet my skin,
They've lost for so long,
this time I want to let them win,
I want to feel those tears.

Sometimes I don't feel like talking,
But I got to keep going, got to keep walking,
Sometimes I just want to sit here crying,
But now all I want to do is feel those tears.
this is probably one of my longest poems.
ghost Dec 2020
I said you might just fall for me
and in his head, he knew
id never fall for her
he did end up falling for me
the thing was he forgot I said
" if you do fall for me,
I'll have to break your heart"
ghost Dec 2020
we both were like fire
so I thought we could become one
but we were different
you were a fire
that would devour everything
while I was a fire
that lights the way
even when I'm most alone
ghost Dec 2020
I've always liked
the sound of my own footsteps
they are reassurance
that I exist,
body and soul
with weight and impact upon the world
even though
I often do not feel so
ghost Dec 2020
I have diamond tears
with crystal eyes
a forgotten life
in a hidden castle
never to see the light of day
ghost Dec 2020
I used to think the world was made for me
I felt so free
now I'm bound by the chains
nothing but my bones remain
as a sign that I once existed
maybe my poetry
but no one bothered reading it
ghost Nov 2020
I respect you
I look up to you
don't just assume I love
is it really that hard to stay friends
ghost Dec 2020
east morning nudges
her caress a noted breath
soon I come like a storm

Flowers still bloom
in graveyards
and maybe
thats why
I’ve always
known
trauma and pain
can't destroy
a beautiful soul
ghost Dec 2020
if there's anything
that's stronger than love
its guilt
we learn that the hard way

A deep loneliness
Falling in love with strangers
Feigned intimacy
my first Haiku
ghost Jan 2021
I want to thank you
My dear friend... Yes
It's been a while... Let's
Keep past things, water under
The Bridge here and now...
It Was extremely nice to
Talk with you again...
Especially tonight, When I
Really needed a friend...
It turned out not to be
A ruined New Years Eve
Thanks to you, My dear
Friend... I hate to repeat
Myself, Like I sometimes do
But one more time I want
To Thank you & Wish
Your Loved Ones & For
You Too,  The Very Best
HAPPY NEW YEAR

I see humans
but no humanity
guess we lost it on the way to find humanity.

they say
get up after you fall down
what if you never fell
since you never moved a step
what if you took a step
fell
then never took one again
have you given up
or ar you tired of failing
cause I am
ghost Nov 2020
those beautiful green mountains
white in winter
so fresh in spring
why was I not born there
why here
why was my name
not that I could choose
will I know when I die
until I wake up
I will not know I slept
until I'm awake
so I don't yet know
where I belong
unless I get there
