Soul Ghost

Don't stop.
Don't let me take a breath. 
Don't let me speak.
Freeze me with words.
Scare me with honesty. 
Kill me with fear. 
You are not fluid, nor stable.
Something in between.
In between love and hate.
Cold and hot.
Bitter and sweet.
I hear your short breaths at night.
Choking on air that isn't there.
You are my ghost.
