Ghost

You creep in
Quietly, unknowingly
Like cold wind
That sends shivers
Down my spine.

You show your face
When you’re uninvited
And linger, bring me down
On my knees
In fear.

I try to shut you out
Lock the door
Hide under the sheets
But you’re the ghost
I can’t run from.

    Thank you, Jingle. I'm glad you like my poem. And I'm sorry if I haven't been posting poems and visiting your blog regularly. Got really swamped with work. But now that my schedule's not that tight anymore, I hope to post more poems and read more blogs, too.

    Have a great week ahead! :)

    Hi fiveloaf! I'm glad you like my poem. Thank you so much.

    My ghost is a metaphor to unpleasant experiences I've had, which continue to haunt me from time to time. I thought of likening them to a ghost because they scare me like a ghost does.

    Have a great week ahead! :)

    I almost felt the air turn cold while I was reading this. I like how you described the scene and what your words did to my imagination. I also like the flow. This is good! :)
