Ghosted

You left abruptly
No goodbyes or teary eyes
It’s not me, it’s you or other lies to sooth
You just Poofed
Gone
Yet, the ghost of you remains
I’m haunted by your absence.

I sleep alone
In a bed you only visited
I see your ghost in my bed sheets
Boo! An exclamation of fear or disappointment
The ghost of you
Makes me scream.  
Boo!

I walk by the mirror, avoiding my reflection
To look in my eyes and see a reflection of you
My mirror haunts me 
Asking where are you?  

The table in the kitchen
The one we never used
Sits four only there’s now one filled by you
I can’t eat here with you
Looking for a screen to hide
Looking for your eyes

Doors shut and open on their own
Curtains on the window blow
Some may blame the wind
I blame your ghost

You never ghosted me
You just never left
Here with me in my mind
My fantasy for eternity.
