Wishes

Our memories still haunt me
like a ghost in the night
I shake and I tremble in fear
Sitting here for hours
writing my wishes
like the one where I wish you were still here

    I liked how you made the distinction of "our" memories instead of just saying "memories" in general. I felt like you could add a few more lines or perhaps punctuation to further show emphasis. "ghost in the night" wasn't too creative but it did prove a point. The use of "tremble" was strong as it's such a simple word but conveys so much as the same time. Maybe a specific detail about this person or a particular image would add to this piece, to give a little more depth and insight as to missing this person?

    It's hard fighting the memories though, debating whether to accept them and allow yourself to be lost in them, or trying to push them away because the pain is too much. Keep writing!
