I AM A GHOST

I am a ghost of myself
No longer always smiling
with a charisma
that carried for miles.

No longer always on time
and good at everything
that I was known for.

No longer ambitious enough
to throw in anchor to the heavens
and pull it down to myself.

Instead I am just a shell
walking with lackluster ambitions
in my work life and my personal life,
striving no higher than polenta.

When you took my heart,
you didn't realize
it would turn me into a ghost.
You didn't realize
the rest of me needed it
to live, too.
