She Wished Poem by Terry Collett

She Wished



She wished
he was there still
still beside her
or in the bed
or anywhere else
but not in her head

he haunted her days
and nights

intruded her thoughts
and deeds

brought memories to mind
like photographs
opened up
in some album
for her to see

but it was all
in her head
not outside
not beside her
or in her bed
making love at night
not entering her with passion
as once he had
but no just in her head

just his image there
abstract and yet concrete
but not just his ghost
or spirit at most

she wanted him
beside her
wanted him
embracing her close
his hands about her waist
his lips on hers
but no just
the memory to haunt
just the once upon a time
to jeer

O she murmured sadly
wish you were here Honey
wish you were here.
