There’s a ghost in my window
He keeps calling my name
I cant turn him away
But I’m tired of this childish game
I wish I could let him in
Just let him hold me tight
But I know it will end me
And I won’t say good night
His hold on me is strong
I don’t quite understand
Why I keep letting him stay
And can’t seem to take a stand

Pretty much started this about 1 1/2 ago. It's inspired by my recent and not so recent past i guess.

It's ambivalence. There's much emotion which the author intended. Genius i admit.

Is this guilt i detect? Whom have you wronged, if it be so.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

This poem is really good. I like the creepiness of it. The idea that the ghost is right outside the window gives me chills. Why does the narrator want to hug the ghost though? Is she facing her past?

i really really like the beginning alot, and the idea behind it, but i feel like the ending is contradictory to the rest of the poem. just my opinion, though!
