it amazes me
how a person
who used to send chills down your spine with
a single look
turns into
a person who doesn’t cross
your mind
for days
weeks
lifetimes

falling in love with a ghost is a funny thing
when you wake up one morning and realize
the person you are living for
does not exist
the sting is not as bad as expected
at first there are
tears
screams
shock, yes
but then… the peaceful realization of
what you already knew
his words are made up
his fingers never touched you
he is a coveted illusion
for being so foolish, self-hatred will take over
but then… the remembrance that
ghosts are the best at playing tricks on the living
