( WP ) Poetic description of a haunting .

Phantom pleas roam these empty halls 
 Too late to fall but on deadened ears 
 A spectral Siren's song lures only tears 
 Summoned but to coax their final fall. 
 
 Her voice, now faint, ten years from tongue removed, 
 The sound begins to fade as time forgets 
 Its message lingers like its labored breaths 
 Unheard, unsure, a soul remains unsoothed. 
 
 Through to this day my arms still bear her weight 
 Her warmth still sends a shiver down my spine 
 Her love confession only waiting mine 
 Reply in earnest found its urge too late. 
 
 No ghost that stalks, for love's not truly dead 
 Instead I'm haunted by words never said.
