Ghosts

An incredible beauty
Even the gods shy away
Their desiring glances...
But only on the outside

Surrounded by fear
And darkness within
Hunger for love
Void and empty on the inside

Stops short at success
Holding others hostage
In emotional battles
Killing those who once stood side by side

Shackled to the past
Wanting of the future
Sabbotage all the good
In a love affair with failure

Hold up that mirror
And see the reflection
Honesty at last
Is where Love truly begins.
