Ghost Afterlife
3/25/04
Like a ghost
You see right through me
Invisible to your sight,
but I’m here
Like a ghost
You walk right through me
I’m undetectable from your touch,
but I’m here
Like a ghost
You can’t hear me
My words have fallen deaf to your ears,
but I’m here
Like a ghost
You can feel my presence
but your not sure if I’m real
I’ve been overlooked, but I’m here
Like a ghost, you can reach through my body
Which you've already done
And pull out my non-existent heart
Which you've already broken
All I am now is a ghost
Trying not to disappear
Piece by piece I start to vanish
Trying to hold on, to my afterlife

Matt, this is a beautiful poem. I could relate to it. I don't write poetry but I love to read it. I think your new blog idea is a great one!
Yes, I recommend you post more of your poetry. I liked this one.
Great! Keep up the writing - and publishing them. You never know who may see them.
Mike.
I hate it but in a good sense. Ghost are pretty scary, but love your sense of poetry...
I think it is beautiful Matt. Continue posting your poems!
