There are no living here.
You knock as if there were.
Empty rapping at the door,
not a living soul to stir.

No one is going to answer.
You wait as if there were.
No one coming to the door,
not a living soul to stir.

       Casting thoughts of memory.
       Remembrances of her embrace.
       Trembling anticipation builds,
       Just to behold her face.

Wind rustling through your hair.
While you wait at the door.
Cold, chilling to the bone,
while the rain does pour.

Turning, rapping, waiting, anticipating.
You put your ear to the door.
Silence from the other side,
while the rain does pour..

       Just to touch her skin.
       Once more warm lips to kiss.
       Waiting arms missed too long,
       love once upon a time bliss.

Peering through the window.
You hope to catch a glance.
Just the one your searching for,
Hoping for a chance.

Eyes widen, bones shiver,
lips grow wide a-gasp.
Ghostly shadows appear in the dark,
all in a ghostly dance.

       You promised you would return.
       Don't you remember what you've learned.
       You took too long and love was spurned.
       Her heart broken, now has burned.

Hands upon the glass heart breaking.
Your teary eyes look harder to see.
Yes my love, 'tis my shadow dancing,
the ghost of whom used to be me.

A sad but very beautiful write, many lines of imagery worth re-reading a second time, which I intend to do again later tonight.
