I would have told you I love you
if we hadn't been saying goodbye
With the end always a breath away
it never seemed real to me
like vapors disappearing before my eyes
and even though you're gone today
there's a ghost lurking within my mind
I wanted you to know me
to make sense of a heart gone wrong
I wanted you to need me like I needed you
and to wash away the sins of thought and deed
You were too perfect to grasp
and too wonderful to touch
but now that you're gone
all I have are memories fading
and a ghost walking withing my mind
It's only now that you haunt me
on quiet, lonely nights
when the wind carries your name into my ears
leaving me adrift in a sea of regret and remorse
I can't face who I am
much less what I've become
Just a wounded soul living in an broken heart
walking these empty halls
hoping to catch a glimpse
of the ghost stalking within my mind
In my opinion,that was one of your best poems yet. I still dont have a favourite though! They're all so great and meaningful. Keep on rockin!

My "best friend" abandoned me a couple months ago, and all that's left of our friendship is a few notes, a faded picture, and a ghost in my dreams. Amazing imagery. Keep it up.
this poem is a dark love. it reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. i loved the poem.

This so reminds me of my ex-boyfriend Cade, we split up on bad terms, tho the love I felt for him still remains. Though we have both went on with our lives, his memories will always be with me. Thank you Raven, I needed this poem. Great Work.
I like it because it's true and the pain that withers lika a wilted rose inside your mind like an echo locked in a within box , it just reminds you that you had what you strived for and then befor you knew it left you and you were alone in the dark with insecurity in almost all your thoughts because you dont know exactly what it is and only that you crave it again and then when you read this it lets you know just what you are …. What the problem is .
If only I can relate to this poem, I have only seen this from a friend's point of view and it is one I yet do not understand, or better yet, feel. I feel as if I do only because I know what it's like to be alone.
I thought this poem was phonominal! It was the most inspiring piece of literature I've ever read.If you want to contact me my eamil is plague_of_shadows@hotmail.com
I haven't commetted for awhile but, This is awsome raven. How do you capture every emotion like that. Rarely do I see that people don't relate. Your the best raven. Keep it up.

WOW…u hv talent…its really really good!!!
It happened 2 me 2….wow…really good
This pom has a good thing that when you brake up with some one you feel guilt and pain so this is say you do.
Raven, I can usually relate to your poems with such intensity but this one is the most intense one yet, were you get the ideas to write such beautiful work is beyond myself or my abstract mind. You are my inspiration.
Heaven
this is one of the few poems that I truly enjoy. I do not mean to ofend but almost all of your poems seem to lack somthing important. Your soul is defanatly in it But is your heart?
This is my favourite poem out of all of your work, i can truly relate to it. Really great work. Thanx for sharing it 😀 xxx
Hey, this poem was awesome… when reading it, it made me think of all the relationships i have had in the past, and how i want some of them back! Thanks
this poem truly relates to me and of many poems i have read, this is great work and thoughtful kind of just something you always wish you could have said but never did…and now its too late.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!
You (the one that wrote this) will go far with
your poetry you are a very insightful writer,
powerful with your mind, and life-changing, with
your pen! Never let go of this skill. You will touch the lives of many. this poem is powerful and believe it or not, made a friend of mine change her mind about killing herself over a guy!
She is now in therapy and cannot thank you herself so I say this, THANK YOU!!!
Forever Sweet,

You definately have a beautiful way of putting words onto paper. you certainly will go far in what you are surely excellent at.
"I have shed as much blood as I have tears
Yet the pain remains,
The tears still fall and the blood still flows,
painful traces of your memory"
