I thought I saw a ghost today,
Wandering down the halls.
It awoke bittersweet memories
Of what was – not so long ago.
The sight of it caused
My soul to weep just like before
As I watched the ghost of you
Leave me alone once more.
---------------------------------------------
That song came on the radio,
The one you used to sing to me.
Instantly my memories
Broke the wall I’d built to keep them
Locked in the darkest corner of my mind.
Images of you, of you and I
Flooded my mind.
Even though my eyes were open,
You were all I could see.
I squeezed my eyes shut
And pressed my hands over my ears
But nothing could chase away
The bittersweet echo of your laughter.
Goosebumps spread up and down my arms
As your phantom hands caressed my skin.
I began to shake, but I couldn’t shake away
Your memory.
Why do you haunt me so?
You’re gone; it’s over
Yet I still wake up with the warmth of your hand
Resting softly in mine.
You walked away but the memories of us
Still live inside my head.
----------------------------------------------
In the moonlight under the willow tree
The two of us met, my true love and me.
The shadows from me his sweet face hid
Though closer still to him he did me bid.
In his arms, I felt safer than at home,
Never ever had I any urge to roam.
The two of us met, my true love and I
In the dark of night when the stars did sigh.
Within the absence of light we could be
Two people in love like we wanted, free
From promises we had stupidly made.
But our words are our bonds, our love must fade.
For this moment, I can be in his arms.
Tomorrow with a heavy heart, I’ll harm.

Author's note: The first poem is one I wrote for my English class. The second is one I wrote to deal with something I was going through. And the third is the sonnet I wrote for my British Literature class. Again, these are some of my favorites. Though, it is my blog so I can put whatever I want on here...mwahahahahaha!
