In Love With a Ghost

Assure me your smile is not just a tease

A mere mirage in my desert of needs

You speak with your touch a language I know

So my puzzled heart flares a curative glow

Our romance dawned with the desert sun

Awakening, vibrant, beaming, sudden 

Vows written in sand on a gusty day

Perhaps to you were quickly erased

I gathered the grains before they blew away

Cached in an hourglass where they forever remain

When the sand drains I turn it over again

Confined in perpetual limbo of affection

My hope of repairing our abandoned fondness

Undulates with my breath, mercurial, will-less

My promise adheres to an intrinsic endurance

To appease a heart so blind, eyes so desirous

Though I worry this faith is too good to be true

You never gave me reason not to wait for you
