I saw a ghost last night.
She paid me little to no attention.
She was a moment frozen within time.
No concern for any onlookers.
For she was a moving still-life picture.
Beautiful, yet haunting.
Tempting, yet like a work of art, just beyond reach, as she should always remain.
Sometimes I view her on a moonlit night.
A secret onlooker; a friend of a dream I can never attain.
As I pour another glass enroute slowly to my own demise.
And sit that faded picture down and allow the scar to bleed.
Nothing is ever as it truly seems.
