Ghosted

[Miley]

Hello, thank you for sharing... I think you do a good job with the ghost metaphor, I also think maybe the title is a little too clever, and I wonder if ghost aren't a little cliche, see the justin bieber song "If i cant be close to you/ I'll settle for the ghost of you" I mostly indicated parts to be cut, and left  a few comments

We were always ghosts, somehow.
Nearby, yet often invisible. 
A quiet haunting of small talk
And looks exchanged in passing,
When no one else was in the hallway.  This line makes me think of highschool, funny how much space highschool hallways occupy in my mind... This first stanza is my favorite.

Immaterial, until a Summer night by the lake
when we took form.
No longer invisible. 
On the mirrored water, we saw ourselves, once. 

But as sunrise drives ghost to grave, 
So we returned, and remained, disembodied wraiths. This poem does a great job of keeping up the ghost metaphor consistently. I'm not a fan of wraith here, mostly because it feels like a way of avoiding ghost again, but also because it connotates wrath for me, which dosn't feel appropraite to the quit ethereal tone of the poem.   
Now silent. 
Without a funeral, am I bound here? An anchored vapor?

Years have passed.  
But now, your picture appears, and I am reminded…
“Would you like to wish ______ a happy birthday?”  This line makes me think of facebook
And it seems you are still here, somehow.
