ghost queen Feb 2023
there is a sadness to spring
as the days grow longer
the weather warmer
there is nowhere to hide
no excuses to give
missing the cold
the dark nights
sitting with a blanket
by the fireplace
hidden from the world
and it’s problems
ghost queen Feb 2023
a fresh coat of paint
on the walls of a tomb
haunted by ghosts
too young to have died
or old faded and forgotten
who remembers them
who really cares
ghost queen Feb 2023
the body keeps score
resurrecting at night
re-living early in the morning
when it’s dark and you’re lonely
fragile most vulnerable
waking up crying
remembering replaying
traumas past and present
ghost queen Feb 2023
i float among the stars
slowly spinning
touching nothing
feeling something
it’s crystal clear
not black or white
but somewhere
in between
lost in time
surrounded by sound
it all stops
the silence is deafening
ghost queen Feb 2023
it’s unbearable
numbing and crushing
destroying
my will
to live
this darkness
surrounded by loneliness
ghost queen Jan 2023
the slow swirl
of a cloud
in a endless sky
wandering
among the stars
as the moon dims
a dream fades
remembered briefly
at sunrise
i wake up crying
for a life
i've ever lived
ghost queen Jan 2023
you realize
you’re aging
getting old
closer to dying
with every sunrise

fear takes hold
creeping into your mind
consuming your thoughts
i am no longer young
spry or vibrant

i feel helpless
hopeless
how long do i have
before the sun’s final set
