Loved By A Ghost

By: James Scott King

Sometimes
I can hear the whisper of your voice
even though I never heard it

Sometimes
I feel your lips touching mine
though I never felt them

Sometimes
I can feel your arms around me
though I never felt them

Sometimes
I see you lying next to me
though you're not there

Sometimes
I reach out for you
and realize that you are a ghost
just moving through my heart
and I try to follow you
but the wind carries you away

So I drift off to sleep
and dream some more
hoping that my ghost
comes back once more
