in love with a memory
a grave in my heart
lusty and longing
for a past or a future
I never had
Being an illusion
does not matter
if this is faith
then am a believer
A love prison
of my own creation
A cage of my design
A present of no existence
let me hold unto you
let me feel you for a sec
let me show you layers of my heart
if only you could stay longer
my imaginary lover

As I am about to compose another poem, I notice that you just posted this one, so I thought I would have a look before beginning to write... I enjoyed reading it, especially the passage that goes: a love prison of my own creation, a cage of my design, a present of no existence, which, FAR from me saying you plagiarized, reminded me of a song I loved, Unhappy Girl, by The Doors, in which Jim Morisson wrote: you are locked in a prison fo your own device.... If you would like to hear the reference, would you not be familiar with it already, you can find the song on their Strange Days album. Thank you for letting me remind myself of this, as I haven't listened to that song in many years. Aside from this passage drawing me to the land of memories, I must not neglect to mention how I appreciate your style of prose and use of a different image for each stanza as visual summary of what was just depicted in words. This is the first piece of yours I get to read, and it definitely will not be the last!
Thanks for reading, I'm glad u enjoyed the poem and the fact that you took your time to analyse and interpret each line is something I really appreciate. Thanks for reading once again.
Cool poem.. I also had an imaginery lover, okay she is kinda real, and your poem describes how I feel sometimes.
Like I am in a prison of love that I created because I love someone who is far away, have her on my mind while I am most likely not on hers, but it is faith that I have that maybe one day she and I will be together but I am not sweating it.
Once again, lovely poem, short and sweet.
Thanks for reading. I hope u eventually get what you want because feelings and emotions are very tricky.
I would have totally written this two years ago. Thank God that part of my life is over. This poem really hit me hard. I hope your imagination becomes reality or else you are able to move on and be free from your grave of a memory.
Thanks for reading, emotions and feelings is the part of my life I have never been able to Phantom.
