WRAITH OF MY DREAMS

Why do you haunt me 
Wraith of my dreams 
Why don’t you talk to me 

Not even a moment? 

Breaths stuck in my throat
My heart, warped in pain
Heavy with tears, It bursts
In a shower of tiny flames.

Awake in my sleep
I strain to hear your tread
Asleep in my wakefulness
I dream of you instead.

I feel you curl around me
In feel-less fingers of smoke
I wait for you endlessly 
Wrapped in your misty cloak.

O ethereal delusion
Step out of your shadows white
Come own me with your colours
Touch me with silvery delight.

Just don’t haunt me tonight!
