Ghostboy

ghost boy is haunting me.

i smell him on my pillow

i see him at the counter

i feel his silky hair

i sense him right beside me

i can hear him laugh

ghostboy is haunting me.

i can hear him chew his food

i sense him on the stairs

i see him on my sheets

i feel him in my shower

i smell him on my clothes

ghostboy is haunting me

i feel his arms around me

i smell him in my car

i see his shining eyes 

i hear him coming through the door

i sense his absence in all five senses

ghostboy.  either come back or get out.

ghostboy.  make me forget you ever existed 

or return to where you belong 

and make this whole again.
