the ghost

by stephanie/pisces - Not entered

there is a host I know
I know him well
For I can see him
he's there.
so close, yet so far
he is there in body, spirit, and mind
but he's not there for me, for me to find
for something happened we can't explain
something happened to cause such pain
in both our hearts it does reside
and in each other it will not subside.
"time heals all ills," the scholars say
but time won't heal what happened that day
I miss him so and he'll never know
Our relationship I was hoping would eternally grow
but he wasn't ready to commit to that
why doesn't he understand what he did to me?
why doesn't he miss me?
maybe he does.  He's just confused
But there's nothing I can do.  I can only lose
"Go on with you life.  You don't need him," I hear.
But, no one understands how much I need him near
I should be angry.  I should be mad
But all I feel is sorry and hurt and sad
I wish I could tell you, dear ***, how I feel
For in my mind our relationship was so real.
but in yours, it seemed, it was something too soon.
I know I might have to wait until a new moon.
But I'll be here for you if you ever need me
for in my heart you'll remain until you truly decieve me.

Reason for writing:

    A very, very painful relationship inspired me to write this a couple of weeks ago.
