Lingering

 I don't sleep, I dream...

of rest, for your restless heart
Peace from the things that
haunt you in dreams ...

The ghost that touched your thoughts
And stayed there...
I linger...

From this slumber..

where I drifted from the first step
I ever took....

sleep walking to you..

Carrying this cross of guilt I bare..

For every pain ever inflicted
by the same ghost that haunts me too..

Whether spoken
or left unsaid.

you linger..

Tracing my foot steps
sleep walking...
back to me

We haunt each other.

carrying our ghosts

Lingering..
Silently in the dreams

waiting

For the other to open her eyes.
