Ghosts of Heartaches Past

Revenants.
Whispers of fear
Lurking in shadows
Tendril fingers reaching.
Tripping me on pain.

Apparitions.
Waiting patiently
Biding their time
Blitzing from nowhere.
Choking my spirit on dread.

Specters.
Stalking stealthily
Sneaking in uninvited
Sucking out life.
Stealing my breath away.

Phantoms.
Nearly forgotten
Hiding in corners
Brushing against bare skin.
Shivering my soul.

Guardians.
Gently reminding
Rescuers in waiting
Erasing secret doubt.
Soothing my heart.
