Of Ghosts and Relationships

of ghosts and relationships when we meet again I need to talk to you to say things like goodbye. use words that have eaten me slowly as they formed one syllable at a time grown from tears of thought eked out over eons of loving you. I watched you disappear one cell then another until you became so thinned so fine sun shone through you were but a shadow on the bedroom wall yes promises were made how long ago? yesterday perhaps when dinosaurs roamed the backyard the moon was huge in a soft young heart eyes scryer for the future yet could only see your face I said I would never leave but just remembered you were never really there.
