Ghost

I stood behind you in line.

You looked me in the eyes.

You looked back at your cart.

You handed the cashier the money.

You told her Merry Christmas

You were pleasant and warm and nice

but was it real?

You confused me today.

You have talked in days past about the incredible person I am.

You have told me that I am a friend like no other.

You have told me we should get together.

For some reason my guard remained up.

I don't know why.

My intuition is something I constantly question.

Time went on.

It stops for no one and nothing.

My family experienced some tough medical situations.

Where were you?

Oh right, you were commenting on my facebook posts telling me to text you.

Sure thing.

It looks good – to others.

You feel you did your part – you reached out.

But do you really care?

I have yet to text you.

You have yet to text me.

But thats just life.

When you saw me today, you didn't even recognize me.

I got a glimpse into what life would be like if I wasn't here.

If I was dead, if I was gone.

That's how I feel.

People don't care.

That's life, that's reality.

It just stings coming from somebody who spoke such powerful words.

Leaves me questioning my discernment of people.

Leaves me questioning my life.

Leaves me with this pit in my stomach and a hole in my heart.

Do you think maybe next time you could just say hi?

Trust no one.

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
