Mere Thought

I'm not even like the wind that can graze your face nor a ghost that can give you chills. I was never there for you to embrace. I am just words you read and a voice you hear. You saw me in pictures that appear real, but none about them placed me near. No touch. No smell. You'd barely hear my voice calling your name, even a ghost can be one with you since I'm so far away. Will I be a memory that will fade away? Was I a dream to you? A dream turned into nightmare that you fled. How fast will you forget my voice? How long till you erase my pictures from your phone? The image you had of me in your mind, how distorted have I become? How long will I last in your mind? That's all I am, A thought. You cut yourself on the edges of your thoughts. How soon will I fade? As quick as I faded in your heart? Knowing that I'm not in your heart, where all memories are stored and treasured, I know I'll fade quick and am probably already gone. I am no more. Even the wind can touch your face, but I hoped that one day, this mere thought, could have embraced. A thought. That's all I am. Have I faded already? Was it quick? Was it painless? to be rid of a thought, a mere thought.
