Ghosted Me

Ghost of Me
I have disappeared completely,
I have vanished physically,
I remain only a figment of your imagination.
I remain only a fleeting memory in your meditation.
I have ghosted you.

I may have journeyed to another world,
I may have disappeared underground,
I remain only a throbbing pain through your sensations,
I remain only an invisible presence behind your motivations,
I have ghosted you.

I have not called you nightly,
I have not texted you daily,
I remain only a clocked message on your phone.
I remain only as a voicemail when you are alone.
I have ghosted you.

I have not touched you lately,
I have not kissed you gently,
I remain only as your lasting memory of a former romance.
I remain only as your longing desire for a second chance.
I have ghosted you.

I have saved you from long tears,
I have saved you from new fears,
I remain only as your most silent prayer.
I remain only as a treasure that you hold most dear.
I have ghosted you.

Welcome to Neo. Although I normally don't like repeated first words of a line, I feel that this will be an exception. It lends a feel of repetivness of the daily schedule,[ and maybe the reason for the breakup]. Your language use is fine, the pacing is good too. along with the repeated lines. The beginning and end are good, and it's smooth in between. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thanks, Geezer.
