Walking Down The Stairs* Poem by Kat Smith

walking down the stairs
you, you
and your beautiful
you and
your amazing
walking down the stairs
as I try desperately
to blend in to the white washed wall
walking down the stairs
no one seems to care
as I make my muffled
walking down the stairs
why do I even care
you and you beauty walking down the stairs
if you were looking you would have seen the stars in my eyes
handsomely
beautifully
walking down the stairs

and in a moment
in a second
in a flash of time
its over
and your just another
another ghost of mine

fading like an ancient painting
tasting bittersweet
there you were on those steps
looking straight at me
you stand out
my eyes in perfect camera focus
you like a ray of sunshine bursting happily through the clouds

and in a moment
in a second
your gone
just another ghost of mine
