Only A Ghost? Poem by Anna Iry

I want my memories back
I want them calm
I want them happy
I want them clean
Without you in them

When I wish to go
Into my thoughts
You’re there
Waiting for me
Sitting comfortably on a couch
Grinning at me

You’re in my every fantasy

I want you out of my dreamworld
I can make you exist no more
I only have to forget you

You’re only a ghost
But you return to haunt me

You’re with me everywhere
But I don’t want you anymore
I wish you’d understand

Are you my punishment
Are you my guardian
What are you
To follow me
Wherever I go?

Please, haunt me no more!
