I would have told you I love you
if we hadn't been saying goodbye
With the end always a breath away
it never seemed real to me
like vapors disappearing before my eyes
and even though you're gone today
there's a ghost lurking within my mind
I wanted you to know me
to make sense of a heart gone wrong
I wanted you to need me like I needed you
and to wash away the sins of thought and deed
You were too perfect to grasp
and too wonderful to touch
but now that you're gone
all I have are memories fading
and a ghost walking withing my mind
It's only now that you haunt me
on quiet, lonely nights
when the wind carries your name into my ears
leaving me adrift in a sea of regret and remorse
I can't face who I am
much less what I've become
Just a wounded soul living in an broken heart
walking these empty halls
hoping to catch a glimpse
of the ghost stalking within my mind
hey, i just wanted to say that i really love this poem, i've read it so many times, and i could never get bored of it. And as i can see, many other people seem to have the same opinion. I think this poem is even better because any one who has ever loved and lost some one, or maybe not had their loved returned, can relate to it. I know thats true for me.
You are really talented. xXx
This poem is really good keep up the good work and you will make it somehwere
this is what happened to me about 3 days ago….great poem
thanks this poem inspired me to be free and tell all that im a goth
you're poem was soothing to me, i feel like i'm suffering in this whirlpool of lonely memories you're poem made that loneliness not feel so bad only because i'm not the only one going through it. That probably sounds terrible but it's really not. Thanks
this explains what i am going through at this very moment.my goth friends say they know what i am going through but i know they have no idea what it feels like.i am tired of feeling sorry for myself,but i cant help it.
I hope one of these days that I too can relenquish the worlds hate and obsolve it into my own soul. To secretly dissolve the parasites that afflict evil into the core of mankind. Your breaking ground. Just know there are others out there that stand beside you. From one poet to another. Strike down those that oppose us with their hate tempered love stained hearts. We shall smile. I tip my hat back to you sir. Good job.
absolve** blah blah. We poets are allowed a typo right?

Raven this is really freaky i wrote a poem almost exactly like this one two days before i had even heard of your website. i had written mine because i still had feelings for my ex girlfriend and i wanted to express that. then about 2 days later i was looking up gothic poetry for an english class and i came across your site and was totally freaked when i read ghost within my mind. because they were pretty much the same poem
I Love it…that is all that I can say. It's amazing. Raven, you are superbly talented!
I THINK THE POEM IS GREAT AND DARKLY BEUTIFUL YOUR REALLY TALENTED AND GUESSIN BY THE COMMENTS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SO.
This poem say it all for when my heart has been broken. You think you have found the "ONE" and some how things go wrong and but the memories won't go away and they just haunt you in your mind. Thats the part that hurts the worse sometimes. Thanks for a poem that helps.
