"Silent Ghost"
Here I stand
do you see me?
Am I there?
Will I fade?
What of my Shadow?
does it waver?
or does it stand as a testament?
Can you hear me?
do I make a sound?
do I even matter ?
Is my love enduring?
Will you see, truly see me?
Will you hear, truly hear me?
Here I stand.
waiting,
watching,
screaming,
silent as a forgotten ghost.

I’m fascinated by that line in italics. It reads like panic to me, and it is also the only real hint that this speaker isn’t human. Is it meant to be significant?
This is an eerie poem, especially the ending. It reads quickly, and I like the choice of formatting and font; it affects the way that the reader reads the piece and thinks about it. The last stanza is my favorite one, and is a great, memorable way to end the piece.
