Haunted

Haunted

Your omnipresence surrounds me

invades my thoughts

heightens my senses

so that I see your shade

beside me, shimmering,

throughout the day

and I am driven by the desire

to reach out

and touch your warmth

but my hand passes through you

and I am given only

the illusion of heat.

So this is

what being haunted feels like.
