Upon her varandah she waits
He will be home very soon
Her love will not abate
As she sits beneath the moon
Memories fill her mind
So many yeas they've been together
Never angry always kind
There forever. Not fair weather
The taxi lets him out
She smiles He sighs relief
Her smile turns to a pout
He shakes his head with disbelief
He walks toward the stairs
She stands to give a warm embrace
Quietly he says "I'm home"
Her heart now begins to race
He walks right though the door
Stunned, she stiffles a cry
His love is there no more
Her heart just wants to die
She walks inside their home
Expecting to see his new love
And as her eyes begin to roam
His spirit floats high above

Hello and Yes, I haven't seen anything from you in a while.
I'd think it would be indeed hard to see the spirit of someone I truly loved, not to touch them, but I guess the sensation of their presence would be better than nothing at all. I guess. A rather sad poem.
