Retrospective Ghost

This is what happens when my mind begins to wander.

I am a retrospective ghost; haunting you with the past and making the future a blur.

 

I'm right here.

 

Where did you go?

 

Why did it turn out this way?

 

I never meant for this to happen.

 

You were here just a moment ago...

 

Your shadows dance across my bedroom walls with a silent grace.

 

They appear when I least expect them; Just like when you'd show up at my front door.

 

Where do I go now?

 

Where does the horizon lie?

 

I am a retrospective ghost;

 

Slowly moving backwards through time...

Haunting, no pun intended. Sad, forlorn, confused. Breaking my heart reading it. "I'm right here." is my favorite line. Not sure why, but it is. Well done. :)

I love this. I love the word grace, and when it's in a poem, it makes me happy.

Anywho, yes, very elegant. Love it.
