A Ghost, Once a Wife

~ Savannah ~

Past me you look,
With no glance, with no smile.
Seldom we speak,
Been so long, been a while.

You stare past my face,
As I scream, as I cry.
Tears roll down my cheeks,
You just walk, walk right by.

I call out your name,
You don't stop, you don't wait.
I am passed once again,
My love calls, yours abates.

When once I was part,
Of your soul, of your life
I now am a shadow,
A ghost, once a wife.

    Such sadness... Yet beautifully written. It's hurtful when love slips away into the afterlife...

    A beautiful poem! I know how that feels, that's why I'm divorced. I applaud you for the beauty of the delivery of the ugly concept you have portrayed.

    There is probably nothing worse than being treated as a shade of the past. You have my admiration for being able to write about this, and in such a splendid way. I sincerely hope that solace will be yours.

    yes deep withi the simple rhyme structure; to the heart of the matter and very moving in a succinct way; a very good post: haunted; forlorn...

    ...I remember way too much of this; just enough to respect your strength despite the circumstances that were laid forth...know that no matter what comes, you'll always have the ones here that you matter to...
