He was a distant ghost.
Existing, but never
Really there.
Pale and delusional
To the life of a woman
Who attracts
soft-spoken men.
And then there is her
Beaming face of
Naïve expectations,
Thinking he will be
Less transparent.
But how can a ghost be
Anything less than
See-through?
He promised her
Forever until death.
Even death seemed like
An unfulfilled message.
Empty offerings and
Wishful thinking was what
He gave her.
So she buried every
Sweet suffering
And tantalizing thought.
Focusing on charismatic
Corpses.
Knowing it’s unrealistic
to spend eternity with a spirit.
