A Ghost In The Room

A Ghost In The Room

A Framed Road to Gold - Santa Monica, California ©2017 Meredith L. McGuire

 
I would confess my love to you again and again;
It’s not going anywhere…

Even when I fall in love again,
Even when you leave…

“You are the only one…”

… who ever looked at me that way,
… who ever stared at me that way,
… who never loved me that way,
… who never let me get away…

“… ’Cause you are mine and I am yours,
“Let’s not fuck around…”

You, your friends and I,
our rhythms intertwined,
our depths married helplessly,
our knowing eyes seeing:

We are not the blind masses.
We are not the unfeeling things

Who see nothing but work,
Who feel nothing but theory;

We are the ones who make life;
We are the ones who enact dreams maniacally.

Yet, you sit.

Waiting…

… for the ether…

… in the ether.
