what ghosts feel like

[Miley]

“what ghosts feel like”

You will in time
forgive my saying this
and thankful for forgiveness I
will begin again
to try to
say I love you

and you will forget
everything I said
without exception.

I never thought
in all my life
that I would know what ghosts feel like.

I really dig the last line/title of this poem, to feel the immaterial to feel absence! ha...  Otherwise Its def a poem that gravitates more towards telling as opposed to showing, though there is something tender (too tender?) in the way its expressed. Its also v succinct and I'm not much could be cut without changing the meaning? I tried cutting it up some below, not better or anything, just trying 2 find the essential!
