In mourning

I mourn the death
Of a non-existent lover,
Tugging at the heart strings,
Of a chest full of memories.

A certain look in your eyes,
Or was it just the truant light?

That secret smile,
Or was it always just a smirk?

Those silken words,
Wish I knew they were lies.

The longing,
The wait,
All so vivid,
So well imagined.

A dream remains a dream i guess,
So,
Ghost of a lover,
Goodbye.
