Carl Fraser Poet Free verse

Living Ghost

This is me
An imperfect soul
Doing my best to get along
Trying desperately to be a better man
All I want is peace
But the wars never cease
Ive come to realize
There is no release
I beg, I plead
For every need
So very tired 
Of how my heart bleeds
Searching for answers
Rooting thru the cancer that is my life
Can you accept my failures
Can you accept me as me
Love is supposed to be unconditional
Never knew it was so one -sided 
This ship has floundered
Can it be righted?
How can love ever last
When your the ghost that haunts my past?
