I'm the ghost of my self-destruction...
the loss of the one you love is like
the falling of a single leaf in the autumn air
no matter what you do you can feel the dawning of the end
the shedding of what was once green filled with the beauty
of the spring blooming of cherry blossoms
the nights no longer spent sweltering in the heat of a summer night making love beneath the stars
the coolness now reminds us of what we once
thought was so vital in life
the promises made in the heat of the night must now be left behind
even though we meant every word we said
no one told us promises have a short shelf life
there are feelings I cannot express with mere words
words I will never say just to indulge myself in self righteous anger
actions I never made for the small prayers she may someday come back
these things you think you see through me are mostly true but are on the other hand a act trying to protect myself from more loss and pain
seeing into the real me is a hard act to follow for there are truths I try to this day to hide
I don't need anyone or anything anymore for you see all that I am
and all that I want to be
I'm a ghost blending in with the shadows I'm a ghost forever cursed to feel love , pain and sadness forever curse to feed on the emotions of all the memories I have of her those deeds ,the words the lack of actions or the lack of knowledge that slowly killed love
till I was nothing more but a ghost forever in the shadows until my tragic story comes to an end
I'm the ghost of my self-destruction...

“Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms,
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
