FEATURED POETRY: Dear Phantom by Merj Blanila

Blood of tears fall from my heart

Feels like it was hit by a dart

I never thought we would be apart

Wish I could go back to the start

You were once a sweet guy back then

When there was you and I

You used to tell me you'll never make me cry

But that was a cold-hearted lie

I thought we were perfect for each other

That Ghost and Monster was forever

But then I found out you still loved her and

Then you treated me like a stranger

You left me alone with nothing

After giving you my everything every day

I treat you like a king

But in return, you left me bleeding

Now my heart is aching so badly

I do not know what to do, exactly

How do stop this misery?

How can I recover from this injury?

I feel like dying everyday

Everything has changed after May

Way back April we were so happy

Now you wounded me deeply

I used to be your Monster

And you're my Ghost, remember ?

You plus me equaled "Ghoster"

Please don't forget that, Mister.

"Love you," that's what you said

Without "I," I feel dead

Deep in my heart I know it wasn't real

Because it'ss against what you feel

I've cried so hard because of you

I become so lonely feeling blue

I never thought everything wasn't true

Wish I could make things undo
