A Dangerous Ghost

His energy unshakable, Behind his eyes a cryptic message, He looks to her in search of answers, Her face a distorted visage, He won’t let go, she won’t let show, Copious feelings, that both souls know, A blemished love, of labored strife Double edged-sword, hurts like a knife, With a goodbye both swift and eerie, She lay in wanting, she lay awaiting, Days without word, she overdosed, On the emotion felt innermost Anxiety struck at the central nerves Her heart nicked, in distress His pain remained the same, Her pride lost, her heart the cost of his never-ending game.
