I don't believe in ghosts

I'm an enigma

A spirit

from some long lost land

read about in books

Intangible

Nothing to touch

 

Your hand

your

scars

They rattle my soul like

you took away my medication

 

My self loathing

peers outside the window

Jeering

Knowing what I can be

but will never embrace

 

I'm sorry

My

sadness

goes deeper than my

love for love

The breath I gave up

for a life of suffocation

is my own bubble of Death

and

Desperation

 

Don't jump---

I wouldn't want you to drown with me

 

I'll grab you

and take you

With the passion that runs through my veins

I hope you recognize my efforts

and grab me back

even when I pull away

 

I just want to know what forever feels like

They say let it **** you

Another enemy

or the reason I go forth

I hope to finally understand

why people lose their minds

And skin

to serpents wrapped around their necks

 

Blue

Purple

Haze

 

washing over me

 

I'll let go---

yes, I'll let go
