My mind ,body and soul turn fragile paper soft beneath the weight of her memory with the faintest pull she drags me back into the warmth I tried to bury She walked through my dream tonight clear as moonlight on water was it a message or my heart plotting against me again? She arrives when I'm steady and when I'm breaking her presence is a beautiful curse a sweet ache that refuses to loosen its grip I forget her in the daylight yet night resurrects her with cruel precision I turn corners searching for her shadow for an echo of a voice I barely remember why? I also ponder why does my heart reach so violently for someone who was never mine Is this yearning or the ghost of love refusing to die A rope swings from a lonely tree with my eyes shut i imagine surrender the silence the falling but as i open my eyes I find myself beneath the branches the rope swaying gently like a pendulum counting the beats i wasted on her and i realize the only death i sought was the ending of a love that never lived yet refuses to die still why was she so vivid tonight as if she returning like a ghost to touch a heart she never claimed

Ghost of Emptiness
My mind ,body and soul turn fragile paper soft beneath the weight of her memory with the faintest pull she drags me back into the warmth I tried to bury She walked through my dream tonight clear as moonlight on water was it a message or my heart plotting against me again? She arrives when I'm steady and when I'm breaking her presence is a beautiful curse a sweet ache that refuses to loosen its grip I forget her in the daylight yet night resurrects her with cruel precision I turn corners searching for her shadow for an echo of a voice I barely remember why? I also ponder why does my heart reach so violently for someone who was never mine Is this yearning or the ghost of love refusing to die A rope swings from a lonely tree with my eyes shut i imagine surrender the silence the falling but as i open my eyes I find myself beneath the branches the rope swaying gently like a pendulum counting the beats i wasted on her and i realize the only death i sought was the ending of a love that never lived yet refuses to die still why was she so vivid tonight as if she returning like a ghost to touch a heart she never claimed
