Challenge
Write a poem to yourself from the perspective of a ghost that haunts your home
I was never ready to leave, so should I?
I still hear echoes from the nursery,
Where my newest love would have cooed from.
The paint still smells wet, I remember it being a warm pink,
Did you really have to make it a den?
Every night she calls out to me,
And my breasts heavy with milk I find myself lost,
In a room full of books where she should be laying.
Around and around I walk, exasperated and aimless,
Everything looks different but her cries remain constant.
Where is my new love, she eludes me every night.
Let me hold my love and only then will I feel release.
