Apparition

Why can’t I hold you close to me,
Why do I go unnoticed, can’t you see,
Ethereal and floating, just off the floor,
Passing through walls, walking through the doors,
I just want to feel your warmth, I want your touch,
A simple request; That’s not asking too much,
What I would give for your unrequited love,
Even recognition or something thereof,
To let me know that you see me here,
So you would know that I hold you dear,
Creaky floorboards in an empty home,
I feel unnoticed like a dust covered tome,
I can’t think of a way to make you see,
Because in the end the ghost is me.
