Ghost

I'm just a ghost

saturated in your shadow, 

just aching to slide my lips across your neck.

Waiting, wanting 

I wonder, 

'Why can't I just drown you away?' 

this body is my cage

each rib a bar on my cell 

each tooth a nip closer to your skin

I'm just a ghost, not even your ghost 

and yet you've got me pinned down with just a glance 

on my knees, on my knees

all of my fears look like you 

So, why do I want to touch you?

I'd reach out, but I'm just a ghost.... 

and each day I melt a little more into your silhouette.
