A Ghost upon my Heart

You are standing there but you look right through me.

I speak but you do not answer.

My foot steps make no sound.

If I had a heart it would be breaking.

I long to touch you, but If i try my hand

would pass through you.

My nearness is just a chill in the night

I feel tears but they do not fall.

As the wind sweeps me away.

A ghost upon your memories.

a ghost upon my heart.

There have been times when i felt like this. I was as alive, but it was I was not even in the room. My wife just acted as if I was not even there I was a ghost in the room. I guess that is why we got a divorce.

I am sure that is not what you meant to convey with this poem, but that is the memory that it evoked for me.

Thanks for the read request,

An unfinished love haunting your mind and heart... for being so sad this was beautifully written.
