In My Head- Various Poems by A.M

in love with a ghost

you haunt my head throughout the day

lingering and dense like a frigid grey fog

shadowing me, never going away

an exhausting, incessant epilogue

I try but I cant escape

you materialize in my sleep

smothering me, like a black, heavy drape

and it doesn't die down, week after week

I try to make contact

And reach beyond your hollow presence

In return a desolate, veiled act

A ghost of my past love; no longer in existence

your love for me is a cemetery

but mine for you is a nursery
