A ghost
I'm in love with a ghost,
that is to say the least,
She's never here,
yet,
She's always there with me
When I kiss my love,
I feel her presence then and there,
Though as time goes by I can't find her anywhere.
At times I feel,
Like I've moved on,
from that crazy old illusion
Though I'm constantly reminded,
Of my silly new confusion.
At night I weep,
tears of longing and desire,
I want that ghost,
The one I once admired.
Always smiling, always happy,
That used to describe me
Now I'm weary and I'm battered
How can no one see?
No problems, no worries, she was my piece of heaven
Now it's struggles every day, we've argued twice by seven.
I love my partner I love her so,
Not a single doubt about it
Goodbye my ghost, in love with you so,
I've got to live without it.

I'm really intrigued by this poem. We all live in illusions,but the silly thing is i rather live in an illusion than real life,simple fact is whoever you build in your mind isn't going to hurt you, their everything you need and want. Anything you make up go how you want it to go.

Thanks for the support guys, it's what I like to do. @lyrics_Poetry I think a big portion of the people in this world prefer to live in their fantasy and illusions instead of real life. I know I wished I lived in my fantasy world but everytime I wake up I'm still here, though each time it becomes more and more clear that a perfect world would just be too easy and maybe not worth living.
