The Ghost of Me
And the parting of the ways
By C. A. ButterworthPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

3/3 of the Breakup Nonet Trilogy
I’ll be your Diana, haunting the
Narrative, Rose to your Martha
Try to find me within her
but I’m moving away
My long shadow cast
I burn your name
Just a ghost
in the
flame

Author's Note:
These were very therapeutic to write! I don’t usually dabble in poetry nor touch this subject with a ten-foot pole, so this prompt was way out of my comfort zone. However, I (unexpectedly) had a lot of fun; so much apparently that I wrote three entries to this competition.
Hello to all of my new readers and thank you for your lovely comments, I appreciate them all.
