Binding Emotions

My tears are no longer mines. They belong to her, only her and no other. She is all I know in this dark world of love. I still cry daily with vivid images of her. She haunts everything I know when it comes to love. I guess falling in love with a ghost is double sided. But to me it’s safer. Magical kisses felt of cold lips. Dagger like eyes piercing my every beat of my heart. Beautiful skin with a hollow shadow. She only speaks in whispers saying never love me. For if you do, I will destroy you. Many nights I held myself with tears falling from my cheeks. Looking at the clock waiting for her to come to me. 2 in the morning was our time to make love and dance. Then she would disappear chanting in a whisper don’t love me. Now I, stuck in my emotions wondering on which one to hold on to.

This poem has a gentle sweetness that makes it anything but sad. The line that got me was the line indicating that falling in love with a ghost was safer. I have not found that to be true, but I have not done it, so this might be true indeed.
