The walking ghost

he thought about it for a very long time

carefully composing the words in his head

deciding what to say

and what not to say

eventually he sat down in a quiet space

with a blank sheet of paper

and his favorite pen

he wrote these words

I never imagined you were capable

of breaking my heart

but you did

and its still broken

I never imagined you were capable

of being so cruel to me

but you were

and it still hurts

I never imagined you were capable 

of telling all those lies

but you did

and you never said sorry

I never imagined you were capable

of refusing to work things out

but you did

and you ended our relationship

its time for me to let you go

I have stopped searching for the answers

you have become the walking ghost

of a person I used to love

He put the letter in an envelope

addressed it and fixed a stamp

placed it in a drawer

and decided to never send it

Tears chasing raindrops

her face was at the window

watching the rain gently fall

counting the raindrops on the glass

watching them slowly slide down

she wished you were inside one

wondering why it all went wrong

wishing she could turn back time

suddenly your face appeared in a raindrop

pressing her hand to the window

hoping you would feel her love

praying you would stay a while

she watched you slip away

her tears chased after you

you never looked back

she had lost you forever
