Ghost

A drifter

That is what I am

Gently carried by the wind that sways

One with it I pass through without a glitch

Swirl around you as you walk

The feel that I am indeed around

As I touch your skin, I assure

Tried to catch me

And you got nothingness

Wanting desperately to find something tangible

You tried harder

Just in vain

And just the haunting remains

Yet I remained

To be sensed, to be touched

To be felt but never to be bottled in

Embraced my warmth

And you knew I were

Yet felt so far away

But there I was

In your delirium, in your reveries

Ever closer to your skin

And you failed to touch me

You failed to feel

You even failed to realize

Trusting only what you saw

And in those that stared back

You’re lost

Placing your trust in those only tangible

You wanted never to

Lose the feel

The feel for desire and lust

You knew there was something more

Somehow discarded

Like the garment that you wore

Abandoned, banished from memory

Only to be later searched for

You looked everywhere

But there I was

And everywhere

That you ever were

Tattered and torn your heart

Sang a lachrymose to me

Yet there I was

And you never saw

Watching you die

I could stay cold no more

The winds they did die

Never tried too hard

Never held onto you

An empty jar I was

A lid that you placed to protect

Still had you finding me more empty

But there I was

Tried hard and could never see

I am the wind

I still touch your skin
