To The Ghost I Love The Most (A Poem)

in poetry •  7 years ago 

Were you meant to be temporary?
Have you found in me—
your ephemiral sanctuary?
Was I just a brief happiness?
A little bit of smile in your loneliness?
Have you always been a wanderer—
meant to be an orphan forever?
Am I not enough for your lone?
Haven't you found in me your home?
Was it just because of exhaustion—
that you stopped by in desperation?
Can you not take me with you?
Are you so happy being blue?
For the ghost I love the most,
A soulmate meant to be lost.
Didn't I found you in your solitude?
I understand that timing is rude.
Just in case you lose your way;
and everything is never okay,
I have set a light to be your lodestar,
you'll see it no matter how far you are.
And In my heart—I have left a light on,
just in case you want to go home.

DISCLAIMER: The last two lines are from Lennon Hudson and not originally mine, I have placed it there because I thought it'd make the feeling whole (especially mine) while reading the poem. bowIMG_20180131_224912-01.jpeg
