Love Poem: Haunting

Haunting

Wispy white lines through the earth 
the beat of your heart says you’re there 
but your hair, pail and thin 
says otherwise

I feel stars align 
perfectly in the sky 
every planet surrounds us 
like curious kids around a fight 

but still nothing can make me love you 
your eyes stare me down 
my mind reels 
as it watch his puppy brown swallow the whites whole 

You heart thrums through the ground like a drum. 
Yet I cannot see you 
Wispy and transparent 
Like a ghost.

Tell me would you hear me? 
If I lied to the winter air
 and told you I love you?
I doubt you would

 so what is expected?
Why are the dead so highly respected?
We’re not the same, they’ve no sympathy for the day 
and I’ve got no sympathy for them.

We chose our paths.
 Daisy paths or cemented trecks,
we go to different ways.
More and more I stop wishing you‘d stay.
