I think I’m being haunted by
a female ghost who constantly
Appears to want to be with me
Although I can’t imagine why.

I ask her but she wont reply.
She seems afraid to meet my eye.
I think she thinks she and I
have shared some common history.

I see her as faint image.
A blurred impression from a page
of fashions from a bygone age
Or some actress upon the stage.

A misty figure clad in grey
stays close to me by night and day
I ask again but she won’t say
She cannot seem to stay away.

I don’t know who she is or was
and I will never know because.
She thinks I ought to know of course.
Which in itself should give me pause.

She only comes when no one is here.
I sense her presence drawing near
then hazily she will appear.
This silent ghost from yesteryear.

I see no reason for alarm
I know she does not wish me harm
In fact she has a certain charm.
Her quietness a healing balm.

Which soothes my mind and set me free
from all the noise which bothers me.
Incessantly and ceaselessly.
She offers quiet company.

She places no demands on me.
She is content apparently
to visit unobtrusively,
when she desires my company.

I do not know if she chose me
or I chose her subconsciously.
Sometimes I doubt my sanity
but she is very real to me.
