A Hopeless Romantic's Corner

ghost

I wake up and the sheets are still warm

from where you laid beside me the night prior

I go into the bathroom and there's your towel

damp on the floor from the night before

when you used my shower

and told me to get in with you to save water

and when I look in the mirror

It's like you're still right there

 looking at me from inside the glass

I walk into the kitchen

and next to the sink

are the memories of last night's dinner

that we cooked together

Next to the door is an empty coat hanger

where you slung your jacket 

Underneath that is another empty slot

where your shoes were slipped off

before you ran to me

Everywhere I look I see remnants of you

It's like your ghost is still in these rooms

lingering and haunting

waiting for me to come find her

Even though you up and left

like you do every night you come to spend with me

I can still feel her

your ghost still lingers
