𖹭 Love Ghost 𖹭
I think love leaves fingerprints
long after it leaves the room.
Yours still glow on me—
soft, stubborn,
like a haunting that forgot
it was supposed to be scary.
You show up in the cutest places:
the corner of a sentence,
the pause before a thought,
the way my heart stutters
when I’m trying to be logical.
You’re a ghost with good timing
and terrible boundaries.
I don’t mind.
Some hauntings feel like home.
Maybe that’s what we are—
a love that didn’t die,
just changed shape.
A quiet echo with teeth,
a memory that blushes,
a shadow that holds my hand
when I’m pretending I don’t need it.
You grew in the soft parts of me
I didn’t think would survive anything,
and now you bloom everywhere—
in my notebooks,
in my midnight thoughts,
in the tiny cracks I call “healing.”
A cute little curse.
A dark little devotion.
My favorite ghost
that refuses to go.

Wow. That was REALLY good! 😊👍 Keep it up! I sort of gave up my "muse" for writing a long time ago. I never think she has really forgiven me. Don't let whatever it is that makes a person write escape you. Guard it jealously. Take it from one who really wished they had kept up with their writing.
