And still ...

... you cross my mind. 

Ghosts of the Heart

Within my dreams I have needless conversations
And sometimes . . .
Regret stands so close I can feel its insulting breath.

Unrelenting is the "what if" theory that plays on

Until the opening of my eyes . . .
For explanations, I hang on to and anticipate their whispers.

Then nightly terrorized slumbers compel my inner demons

Taking over my heart . . .
A door to my soul locked, a spent key hidden inside.

love the poem
it really rings true for me,
those counter arguments you come up with in your mind for conversations that haven't even happened
good skills
