Just A Ghost Poem by alice berndt

Feel like I'm talking to a ghost, your voice something from a long lost dream.

what was once colorful and bright is now black and white.

her arms around you is all I see when I think about what could be

so long ago you said goodbye

its just a fading ring in my ears, a ring that brings me back to the here and now

getting hard to decipher memories from dreams and dreams from reality

this ever changing reality that I cant seem to catch

there's static in the air above me

I cant help but still care

not wanting to go back, not wanting to move forward

stuck in a pause

waiting for someone to wake me up from this endless slumber....

fairy tales had it half right...
