Ghost

You keep me in chains;
A weightless ghost bound
To the scene of the crime.

Endlessly, I wait;
Lingering,
Over our empty grave.

Unexpectedly,
The white light of love and compassion
Beckons.

And now I voice
What I’ve always known:
We need to be rescued.

Our love must be buried
So we can be free
To move on.
