The Ghost

There's a smile I get 
when I look at you .
When I look in your eyes
I know you feel it too.
I'm in love with you
but I'm so confused.
You make me feel
like I'm being used.
When times are hard
and I need you the most.
That's when I turn around
and your just a ghost.
You think that you can 
come and go.
But I'm telling you girl
that you've got to know.
Your not the only girl
I know out there.
So I'm telling you girl
let me know you care.
Someday soon you 
just may see.
You'll be looking around
but you wont find me.
You can search from
the mountains to the coast.
Look High and low
but I'll be the ghost.
Is that what you want?
What should we do?
You know how I feel.
Do you love me too?

Nice rhyme, but I do not see the iambic pentameter,the Heroic Couplet should be in the iambic pentameter but I am not the best judge on it anyway, I know you should have 10 or 11 syllables per line. Some of the lines do not fit, but it is still a good rhyme. Judy Riley
