Dear Ghost

Dear Ghost,

 

Would it be easier for you

if I ignored you,

blocked you, hid you,

and came back later

after an 'appropriate' amount of time?

Or is it easier if I stay,

patient and persistent,

occasionally dropping my two-cent

invitations, heart, and laughter,

gently

(repeatedly)

reminding you

that in spite of everything

I still give a ****

 

I ask

because I do not know,

just as I can not ascertain

whether to hope or to mourn.

I hypothesize that neither

will improve this situation,

but I agonize over which

might make it worse.

Your input on the matter

would be greatly appreciated.

 

Sincerely,

Lost in Limbo.
