Writing Prompt

Ghost whisper

Quite sinister

You are gone

What went wrong

Chasing shadows

In the hallows

All for not

You were caught...

While chasing your ghost, I became one myself

I just couldn’t let go and it put me through hell

A hole where my heart was, a pain in my chest

And no medication that could put me to rest

While I was sorting the boxes, I fell to the floor

Wishing you would come walk through that door

The picture frames and the smell on your shirt

A disturbing amplification of me feeling hurt

While I was sorting ...

**content warning, CSA**

who are you?

that's not for me to know

I could never remember

your face, your voice

or your touch

nor the words you'd use

when happy, sad

or quietly ambivalent

it's not for me to know

your favourite colour

your special song

or your chosen film

if you prefer beer

wine, or whiskey

with just one ice cube

enough to cool the liquid

but not dilute the taste

when I was younge...

While chasing the ghost, I died and I ate someone...

While chasing your ghost I became one myself

Caring for my body like a discarded book on dusty shelf

I forgot about me only thinking of you

And you know all I’m saying is true

You had left a long time ago

And since then to another man I could never say Hello

You will and always have been my only one

And after you my love story is forever done

No more seasons for my show

No more presents for you wi...

I swore I could still hear the faint music of you

Playing from somewhere I had passed by

So I turned and ran back

Past my mistakes

To before

You were not there anymore

And neither was I...

while chasing your ghost i became one myself

you are everything he wanted you to be,

so smart those wings that lift you up

are made of papers with a glowing

A+

on them

so calm you would never cry or breath too much your heart would never go a mile a minute

he wants you who only smiles and listens to him

berate and slam and hate on you

but i’m only trying my best

your ghost i can only chase

circle...

While chasing your ghost

I became one myself

Invisible to you

Living in hell

Your shadow was there

But you never came out

And hid from the lie

We went round about

Until I was nothing

But a ghost of your past

To me you are scared

That nothing will last

And take away

Everything that you were

A ghost in the mirror

Afraid of the hurt

From killing your soul

By someone else

Break up and leave

For your...

Gone gone gone gone

Is what they all say

They say that you’ve left me

Left my world all grey

Yet I still think you love me

I still think you care

And to prove this to you

I’d really fight a bear

Yes, that seems sane

To fight a bear

Then maybe you’ll rescue me

And see that you care

But why don’t you care!

Why can’t you see!

You really do love me

You and I, we’re meant to be!

But you still just ...

It’s been many years since we each left this place.

We parted with screams, tear tracks staining my face.

You told me if I ever wanted to find you, you’d be around.

I looked everywhere, I scoured our town;

I checked each bar, each street, each park

I walked the bright days, I walked the deep dark.

I walked to the beach where we first shared a kiss, how could I have known it would end up like this?...
