A Ghost

Awake
From a dream
That seemed everlasting

Her Warmth
There yet not at all
The cold truth fades in

She was nowhere
When I awoke
Our lips never touched
Skin didn't meet
Pleasures weren't given
Words left unspoken

She is a ghost
A memory of better days
Haunting me in my sleep
She's plagued my dreams
Since the day we met
We kissed, made love
And now that love is gone

Yet I still dream of her lips
The want to hold her hand
Still there after all this time
It was natural for me to fall
For someone like her
So unlike me
The opposite I sought
My yin is gone from my yang
And my coffee's gone cold
Because I'm sitting here
Writing away
Dreaming of a day
That may never come
