Ghosted Love

I never got to meet you.

You never got to hold me.

I was a fool

falling for you.

You were so confused.

Wife

children

how could I compete?

Your voice

I heard

I felt to my core

dreaming of days to come

when I would be yours.

Feel your lips.

Feel your hands.

Feel you.

I knew with certainty

that this would fail

whatever it is that we had

and again 

proven right

realizing I have no recourse

no tears can I shed

in remorse.

It is not a wonder

family for you

always shall come first

recognize that I can.

What I fell for 

a fantasy

a dream

never to be achieved

realized

I must accept.

I fell in love with a dream.

I mourn a ghost

for I knew you not.
