Digital Ghost

Have you ever loved words?
The way they are set up
The voice of the speaker
Emotions expressed through them

Have you ever desired to touch
The person typing the words?
To press your lips against theirs?
To ache for the fingers hittng the keys

Digital ghosts they haunt us all
We type of the future
Of what we'd do if we were together
I'd rip out my veins to have my digital ghost

I'd stop my heart and turn into a bird
I'd fly to where they are and stay forever
But digital ghosts are just ghosts
For words can be manipulated and controlled

And love for digital ghosts is like candle
It will always burn out eventually
So do not cry, my digital ghosts
For you are but candles on my alter
