The Haunting.

The creeping ghost
remains
to torment
enrage
wound her
with words and feelings
without form
except in her mind.

Looking in
and understanding
I know
I am helpless
to combat
this phantom
of feelings
he left behind.

She cries
I listen.
I will be
when he is not.
I will stand
when he has fallen.

He will fall.
The greatest error
he ever made
was in never learning
the depth
the wonder
the magic
of her heart.
