ghost

i wish you could watch

the way my broken body crumbles

in front of you and down to your feet in worship

if only you could hear the way i cry out in devotion

disguised as rage but surely you'd run if you saw

my hollowed heart which still manages to shatter

every time your thoughts turn to me in sadness

or regret for lost time missed opportunities

love that didn't live long enough to become

everything that it could've been
