Ghosts can only hurt you if you let them

I can see you cowering in the recesses of your loneliness.

Come on out,

I'm not the one who will hurt you.

I am but a ghost,

A ghost of the memory you refuse to let slip from your knotted fists.

I do not know how long I've waited.

Forever perhaps?

Maybe so, as it feels that way.

Come home my friend.

We can be together once more.

[Sketchy]

This is good!

This is original, moving, and relate able. The title really does tie the piece together! There's a sense of mystery and plot behind this too!.

"We can be together once more" really gave me chills. Over all this is just great. The title is really appealing and alluring, it just ties it together.

Thank you! I put quite a bit of effort into it! :)

These are great titles. ...because they have a quality of Rogerian argument, like countering the bad quality with the opposite side of the coin

[BlankCypher]

Thank you ^_^ I try to make sure that emotionality never overrides rationality :)

[Duckey]

This piece is beautiful. It is very relate-able to the reader, as well as the fact the simplicity of it just makes the message of the poem even more overwhelming. It has a very nice flow to it, and the language used is lovely. Well done!

[BlankCypher]

Thank you Emi! ^_^

Oh my goodness, BlackCypher, you are amazing! This poem is so true, every word of it! I particularly love the line: 'I can see you cowering in the recesses of your loneliness.' This describes someone who is depressed, right? That's how I interpreted it. Very good piece of writing, I very much enjoyed this!

[BlankCypher]

Thanks man ^_^ It is as you interpret it to be good sir, that's my favourite part about writing, being able to make people relate ^_^ I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

[DoormanDan]

i guess, it would sound better if the last words were 'once again" instead of "once more".... and ofcoarse...i loved it...
