Ghosts Poem by Kayci Lamb

I swear I didn't mean to
but I tattooed you
onto my eyelids
and every time I wake up
You're all I've seen

I also didn't mean to but
I must have painted you into the clouds
I must have drawn you into the stars
I must have sculpted you into the mountainsides
I must have sketched you into the ocean
because you're everything I've seen

I want to press you into my ribs
until you seep inside me
locked within my bones
my heart to keep you warm
my lungs to keep you company
Can you see me now?
