Ghost
In fear my heart races
as I pull the covers over my head
and pretend nothing has changed
What I saw was in my head
It is not real, but imagined
Through the bedroom window
I saw you standing there
Looking up at me
Music played through the air
carried along by a cool breeze
Shivering at the sight of you
I recoiled, shrinking back to my bed
It is not you, it cannot be, I won’t let it be
I forbid you enter my thoughts
and invade my dreams
Yet you taunt me with your presence
An apparition stinging old wounds
Still open, raw and unhealed
A ghost from my past
who refuses to die

Ghosts from the past are the most damaging kind…
Yes, if we let them in 😧
Ghosted isn’t funny.
No, it’s scary 😧
Don’t let it scare you. Even if you are. Smiles.
Love this!

Let it go…..let it go …. let it go! Try saying “Out damned spot” six times and turn around twice and he’ll be gone!!
