Original Poem- Phantom in the Night

I am a phantom in the night,

No name,

No lights,

An echoing moaning,

Your deep groaning,

An apparition to hold,

A cleansing to unfold,

Your heartbeat gives me breath,

A reprieve from too early death,

You don’t know how I found you,

You don’t know what I’ve been through,

How I died,

The pain I suffered when the blade collided,

And though this passion must be holy,

To stay here would be to twice kill me,

Because you cannot keep me in your world,

My afterlife lies outside of your walls,

You cannot keep me in your bed,

I am too far dead,

But this may be as close to heaven as I get.
