I Can Still Feel Your Ghost
I could never get rid of you
The way you smiled
How you laughed,
the short chuckle that would follow after
Your comforting stare
I could never get rid of it
I could never get rid of it all
My mind pained me to remember
Who you were
How you left
How much love dripped from your words
How much it meant to feel your warmth
But I took it all for granted
You took it all with you
I could never get rid of the pictures
I see you everywhere
In the morning sun
In the hallways of my home
In the camera you sent me
But the photos are falling from the walls
Just like your final tears
I can still feel your lips
The warmth of the ground around you
I can still feel your cold hands
And the way your eyes went cold
as I watched the world around me fall apart
I can still feel your ghost

This is an amazing poem! I felt it really deeply as I read it. I can also kind of relate to it (I'm in a long distance relationship) and although that's probably not exactly the meaning you had in mind, I can still really feel it. Great job!!!

I definitely understand what you're saying, and you are completely right when you say that it's for the better. I totally understand how hard it is to be the rebound. To me, it takes a lot of strength to be able to acknowledge that someone wasn't right for you, and I know how hard it is to still feel strongly for them regardless. I can only imagine how difficult that must have been for you and I am so sorry that you had to go through that.
