For a man not dead, yet still a ghost

We are ghosts until the day
We materialise again

We cling clumsily to eachother
Like fraying rope or hessian
But after Christmas and new year
In returns the stabbing obsession

The annual longing for you and your praise
Your touch and your face
You haunt my dreams
You haunt my life
I know you won't be back
for another 363 days

yet I feel you
In poor, love-stricken daze
