The Ghost of Me

And the parting of the ways

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.

Gratitude
