You will stay put, I know. Even if I want you to go, even if I ask you, beg you to leave. I know you will be hiding behind the door, waiting for me to get back. I know you will never leave, because there are forces we cannot control, we can't. And you will love me, and hold me in different ways, choking the life out of me. I know. You will **** me, silently under the starts. And I know there's nobody here, but you are. In darkness and in light, your sadistic little arms around my neck, in a song. You will stay, I know. Because I command you to love me tight as a noose, to appear in my dreams, to sprout from my head, to cut my eyes. You will stay and look like her, because I created you in her image. I created you, ghost.
