Ghost
I walk this earth like a
ghost: covered and
downtrodden walking
slowly as if I'm invisible.
Don't mine me l'Il keep walking with this pain
hovering over me the warm heat of the sun
doesn't warm my heart or make me come
alive: I have no soul and no heart left. I'm an
empty shell just moving through the
shadows. There is a dark haunting cloud that
hovers over me. Grief stricken forever.
About this poem
The poem Ghost is about being so heartbroken you become a Ghost from grief! I felt this way but I actually heard the terminology on “Only Murders In The Building!” Grief had become a friend to me. Whenever I was alone I’d feel that grief I’d let it come over me.
