Excellent

Amazing, Jess, how you can even personify those haunting unsaid words that make us believe that they have life and spirit all of their own. Your verse is beautifully crafted with a magical ending. Well done! Debbie

Oh my, a little darker than your normal fare, but equally as dynamic.

Very good indeed. I love everything ghost and ghost related.

Fun!

Excellent

Then I shall join you as well, Jessica, for I, too will be:
...a haunted host
until my final day.
Then I'll become the ghost
of words I didn't say.

Profoundly beautiful and moving, Jessica.
So very much enjoyed.
Especially, this stanza:

Inside my veins, they stream;
the echo marks their travel.
They gather at each seam
to tug my slow unravel.

Delicious.
Thank you for sharing!
Fondly,
diane

This poem was beautiful and haunting. I especially liked that last stanza, the last two lines in particular. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.
