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.

Beautiful. How sad. very interesting perspective.

[Helen Woodward]

Oh...this is so sad Diana. I recently lost my husband and could identify very closely with your brilliant perception of the dead heart that isn't dead at all, but always stays with you...thank you xx

This is really the wrong point in my life to read things like this, but really great. I feel like it should be made into a song. There is a stirring feeling in the lines, particularly toward the end.

[Jenny Davis]

This is magical, sad and beautiful all at once and the picture really adds to this piece's flavor....
a very good write :)

[Angelheaded Hipster]

I think at every persons life, they experience something like this. It is painful to go through, but I think it makes us stronger for having gone through it. Heartbreak sucks....it hurts, but it is a milestone in so many lives...

This is such a touching, very emotional write, Excellent.

This could speak of so many things. It could literally be about a relationship cut short by death or figuratively about one cut short by whatever it is that causes us to fall out of love. I like it a lot. The photo is perfect for the theme.

[Yvonne Heidt]

Diana, this is so good! A beautiful picture, also. This is haunting - I have a few of those ghosts.

Excellent job.
