Love Letter To A Ghost
the madness of loving someone who is not there
Are you a real
Boy? Or did I make you up? Beautiful
Creature born from utter my
Desperation to be loved.
Eyes as dark as the loneliest night
Fingers that have intertwined mine the
Gap between your front teeth
Hands that have gripped my waist.
I have felt your presence but are you
Just a ghost? Do you exist?
Kiss me hard, give me proof you’re more than a dream.
Love induced euphoria or am I slipping into
Madness? Too good to be true
Needing constant validation though
Over and over again and again I feel your
Power and pleasure that consume me until I
Question my sanity. But you can’t be a
Real boy, here for one moment, the next you
Slip away. No longer in bed, disappearing without a
Trace. I did well in physics but I don’t
Understand the matter of you. A man who has
Volume but cannot be weighed down. I
Write about you letters I’ll never send
XOXO, forever to be
Yours, never reaching the
Zenith of my desire for you, my darling apparition.

How you jump to the next line to capitalise on the starting letter makes for a really interesting flow. Nice!
