Array ( [sid] => 104082 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Spectre [time] => 2005-08-21 15:38:04 [hometext] => Repeatedly, everyone I've ever given my heart to was a ghost - here one minute then gone the next. You know how it is - they promise love, they make you think they're truly real...right before they disappear and take a bit of your heart with them forever. [bodytext] => I asked him once, please hold my hand,
He looked at me and smiled -
Beneath his deep brown eyes, a heart,
With kindness undefiled.

The long brown hair about his face,
So handsome on that day -
I reached to it a timid touch
Before I pulled away.

My eyes chanced his then wandered off,
My cheeks a blooming red -
I felt his gaze reach through my face
To touch my soul instead.

My dormant heart leapt from my chest,
And shivers clutched my spine -
As I saw him lift his hand
And gently reach for mine…

That day beneath the autumn sky,
I thought I’d found true love -
Looking in those deep brown eyes,
That met mine from above.

I leaned in slowly for a kiss,
And felt his lips so near -
Begging him to speak the words
I thought I’d never hear…

But that was all some time ago,
A memory cold and dead -
It’s all a ghost that haunts my mind
And fills my heart with lead.

He was just another love
Who quickly bade ‘farewell’ -
Now the loss shall haunt my mind,
And break my heart, as well.

I just asked once, please hold my hand
To wake me from this dream -
Just as my lips kissed empty air,
Forever, it would seem. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Freak-of-the-Week [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
