As If You Were A Ghost

As If You Were A Ghost

A Poem by Jeff Miller
"

I don't know how great this is...I wrote it at 3am this morning.

"

Once again, I hear the depressing voice of your voicemail

And my infinite, salty tears well up in my eyes

In my mind, my body gathers momentum as it tries to run, but it just leaves another tear-filled trail

I don't want to hear a goodbye

Things were finally feeling amazing

Like the past with our planned future

Without you I am a bird with clipped wings

I want this to work, to see what our love can procure

I see you next to me, but your body is intangible


As if you were a ghost

The love we shared is only what you hear of in fables

If you are a ghost my body can be your host...

But, alas, I know you cannot be a ghost, for your beauty is that of an angel

Is love a game that I can never win?

Like writing a love story and running out of ink in the pen?

I will fight for you, fight for our love

Becase the devil himself cannot keep me from you or the feelings our relationship wove

You endowed me with a gift

A gift of forever

I couldn't find it with anyone else, even if I sift

I know that you and me belong together

For a 3 am writing this was great! Great imagery! Awe it made me cry! To know the feeling of having everything going great and then for it fall apart! "Without you I am a bird with clipped wings" a tragic tale of romance! I loved it though!

A very sad and tragic love poem. But the fight for love is worth it.
Anything worth having is worth fight for.And the voice speaking in your poem
knows its worth the fight.

I do love your poem!

This is a wonderful poem. Filled with unending love and a willingness to fight for that love. This is one of the best love poems I have read in quite awhile. Thanks for posting it.
