I must be invisible or a ghost
As I don’t reflect in my lover’s eyes
Walking under someone else’s shadows
I have lost the opacity of my sight
My affections hit walls so hard
Shattering frail castles of emotions
Forget about the broken expectations
I have flushed them with teary frustration
My heart eroded with all the feelings
Unloved, deprived of a cared healing
Always entangled in wrong stories
Where I have failed to find my glory
Yet I am a desperate lover
Still seeking a bond that’s forever
But the love inside me is sickly dead
Obscure, extinct, a ghostly thread
It still may attach, weakened, yet it may affect
But unsure if, in someone’s eyes, it can ever reflect!

Exceptional piece, V! Emotionally charged and expressive. A tricky emotion to understand much less put a voice to, yet you have done so beautifully! Your writing has grown and is starting to be recognized for the talent and beauty it holds. You should be proud of your accomplishments, my friend. I know I am proud of you!

Thanks for reading, Brad, and your kindness and appreciating words. Nothing gives me greater joy than you are proud of me. The idea for this piece came after reading your poem Alien, which was fantastic. Thanks for your support, dear friend
