a ghost from my past

i saw ghost. her presence overthrew my ability to think, talk or walk.

acid burning the back of my throat, my brain swelling, my legs shaking, pools forming in my eyes.

i saw a ghost. memories haunt me and feelings i once thought would never end, ache within me.

Remember me for faster sign in

i saw a ghost. blue eyes. blonde hair. pale skin that i have kissed every inch of. fine hands that i held. pink lips that met mine. a soul which knows mine, housed in a vessel which fits mine like a glove.

a heart that,

well,

does it remember me?

i saw a ghost. how odd is it to be haunted by someone who still walks the earth with me? still, i will be haunted forever.
