Came to Life: A Halloween Poem

Ana Callison
Close to midnight, found myself stranded.
Halloween night, weirdness on silver platter.
One day pass my ticket has almost expired,
should leave now, my shatter empty soul now dragged.

Heavy chains now weight me down.
Shy love being hidden. My heart I pawned.
Feeling confused, attached to this one,
like I once did, to life felt drawn.

Must be going now.
I traded peace, for life not live.
I'll admire from the distance,
my ghostly figure it's now just mist.

If only I had a chance,
this day I have come to life.
What would I say, what would I do?
To show I deserve to be back.

Only a kiss, truly felt, given to me,
from the owner of my echoing beating heart,
Will rise me from the tomb I lay under,
Will make me again, what I once was.

My time is almost over.
Approaching...my nerves are cracking.
Staring at those deep dark eyes,
my lips trembling, jamming tight.

Looked away to find some lovers at my sight.
Laughing, caressing each other hands.
Braveness, sneaked between my lips,
whispering : "there something, something I must speak".

You must be puzzled to find me here.
I should be down buried and nowhere near.
I don't come to haunt you, my dear.
My love for you has just become clear.

I departed without telling you, I was too weak.
Scared you did not feel the same for me.
I hid this love, I kept you at distance.
Thinking my love wasn't suited for you I kept resistance.

I gave you my true friendship.
Honestly, that was all my mind wanted.
After battling the spaghetti fight.
I wondered if what I did was right.

Sometimes I wanted to be your friend.
Others I wanted to be your lover.
My living days went too many months that way.
And I did never solved that puzzle.

So now you know, my secret has been cast.
You could let me go, now and forever.
This Halloween will be my last,
or I could stay with you always together.

He looked at me and he smiled,
but a tear came from his eye.
"I loved you with all my heart
But now is the wrong time".

I smiled, I cried inside.
He loved me, I was surprised.
We looked into each other eyes,
he kissed my cheek, midnight arrived.
