Ghost WalkingA Poem by Skylar Lykes Ghost Walking Act 1: The Rage Don’t call me Don’t text me Don’t look at me Your sick and I’m your cancer If you must know I am very dead inside just shoot me ( right in the heart ) because I’m tired of the w***e named love Love is just some conceived excuse to believe that someone actually cares about you why would I ever think that I could coexist with anything other than my own thoughts those thoughts in which you will never understand Your thoughts define your actions Your actions define your character You will never understand me I live a life where loving is a crime well officer don’t arrest me because I will never love again my heart is a delicate piece of me and I would like it back and a blueprint would be nice because I don't know who I am or who I was before you I’m crushed , and I loved you, but my heart is into a thousand pieces I will never be the same again and when my next partner ask me what’s wrong I will have to tell her... “ I have Mary tattooed across my heart. I will never love you the way I loved her, and quite frankly I wouldn't want to because Love only births Pain. But if you enjoy the ecstasy that transfers between us then fine … I LOVE YOU! ” Act 2: Ironic Serenity This is not poker I can't call your bluff and ante up but I fold and let you take the pot you could make better use of than I could I’m dead; but you, you still have a life ahead of you If you ever see me it’s not me , you killed me ( with my own knife of course ) have you ever imagined a body without a soul thats me, soulless though my body may walk the earth, I’m dead the fight out of my eyes until the day my body decides to stop ghost walking across this empty countryside. © 2013 Skylar Lykes |
