Can’t you write poetry
for me?

All I have is someone else’s poetry
falling between the two of us
like a glass wall or
invisible iron bars
that you deny
ever erecting to keep
me separate from
pain that you can’t
seem to let go of
even though you tell everyone else
with words
how much you really
want to.

Tell me with words
for once how you can’t seem to
let go of me,
unless of course you can let go of
me and the lack of poetry is
in fact the lack of feelings
you possess,
and all along I’ve been fooling myself
while waiting for sweet rhythms
to say please stay I love you.

I am a fool for thinking
you were just shy
or didn’t want to rush
into anything that may make
me think I was more special
than that ghost of a girl you write about.
you know, the one who
makes you cry ink
onto paper.

You still cry ink so
hard I don’t think there will
ever be room for anyone
else besides her even though
I write to you everyday,
pleading with metaphors
for you to turn around and see me
for the first time and realize
that I DO love you enough
to stick around forever,
writing responses
to your words
that will never
be about me.

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

Total honesty of heart, and one that I've no words for...it's all such a personal journey.
But you are always welcome for a glass of mead and a hobbit's song. I understand, this one well.

Ghost girls are hard to compete with, and impossible to get rid of. Maybe someday he will be able to stick that ghost in a dark closet long enough to see the lovelights shining from your heart.
