Our eyes met across the hallway Yours filled with a polite curiosity My identity questionable With a touch of nagging familiarity I walked away Merging into the crowds of uniform Avoiding those moonlike eyes Having a pull that draws me in For a stranger Your face seems old Like it was carved into my insides A promise of unforgetability Who are you? My mind searches its dark recesses For answers which long since Have been brutally wiped away clean You find me easily My scarred face hard to miss Brows furrowed in confusion You stare at my skin Fingers reaching out To touch the untouchable A word forming on your lips Evolving into a question Nicole…? Fingers clench the pregnant air My body stepping back in fear Too close. Way too close. I’m cornered now Your presence now stronger Studying my face with shock My trembling cautioning your movements Tears place themselves Delicately in the corners of your sight Emotions running wildly inside your being As you look into the eyes of a ghost.

Ghost
Our eyes met across the hallway Yours filled with a polite curiosity My identity questionable With a touch of nagging familiarity I walked away Merging into the crowds of uniform Avoiding those moonlike eyes Having a pull that draws me in For a stranger Your face seems old Like it was carved into my insides A promise of unforgetability Who are you? My mind searches its dark recesses For answers which long since Have been brutally wiped away clean You find me easily My scarred face hard to miss Brows furrowed in confusion You stare at my skin Fingers reaching out To touch the untouchable A word forming on your lips Evolving into a question Nicole…? Fingers clench the pregnant air My body stepping back in fear Too close. Way too close. I’m cornered now Your presence now stronger Studying my face with shock My trembling cautioning your movements Tears place themselves Delicately in the corners of your sight Emotions running wildly inside your being As you look into the eyes of a ghost.
