Ghosts

In the shed
Where you left your unfinished projects
And stashed your toys
That you couldn’t take with you.
Ghosts in the closet
Where you kept your party shirts
That you only wanted when
you were with me.
Ghosts
In the back room
Where you hung out the most,
Your quiet place
Where you went to heal
And play music.
Ghosts in the yard
Where you kept the pieces
Of our unfinished dreams,
The boat parts for the sailboat
We would use to make our escape
Into our life together
Ghosts everywhere
Past remnants of a future
Never realized
What do I do with these ghosts?
