Ghosts of My Mind
By Annonymous
Every thought of you brings out
inexplicable feelings of sadness and
happiness concurrently
The dreadful sadness arises because
I want to be with you, but I am not
The lively happiness shows because
there is the hope of me being with you
the emotional turmoil doesn’t end here
You have now taken over the place
that was only and solely mine
my dream palace, my soul
I never thought I would share my tottering soul
but here I am trying to have control over it
I don’t mind sharing my whole with you
I want to share
but right now, my control over it is losing
I am terrified that
my grasp on surreal reality is slipping
I want you to make sure
I don’t slip so far ahead into oblivion that
it’s not possible to return
but if in any scenario
I am that far gone
I want you to be there
with me clutching my shivering hand
into your calming palms
ensuring that no ghosts
of my mind ever
haunt me haunt me haunt me…
