Ghost

I finally got an chance to talk shop with one of my favorite Instagram Poets, @breath_words_ and grab the opportunity to do a bit of writing with her. Check out our collab below:

I am that whisper

that floats through the air,

the memories

that creep up on you,

taunting,

haunting,

calling your name

I am the lingering feeling

that presses

against your skin,

a chill in your veins

that you can't describe,

that you fear

I am the ghost

that lurks

in all those shadows

your darkness has spun.

A recluse to my fears

This ghastly figment has won

Taunted

By creaking floorboards

Haunted

By eerie chatter

Tortured 

By this semblance

Aimlessly looming

Aimlessly passing time

Starving for my attention

Benign through requiem

Suffer me now

A final perfect embrace

Choking on stale air

As I drown 

In your hollow eyes

And become one

With the dead.
