Ghost Number

Oh, you

enter my thoughts

sometimes

I wonder

what you're doing

now

Did you

get out of bed

and greet 

the sun

Don't you know

that you're 

the only one

I think of

this way

It's hard

not to call you

today

But I'd only be

dialing

a ghost number

that just

rings

and 

rings

without an answer

Where do you

fade away to

when the 

telephone beckons

for your words

your breathe

You've become

transparent

An illusion

But I know

you're real

I hugged you

once

and looked

into the eyes

that are the same

as mine

Don't leave me

haunted

with an endless

empty ring
