Title: ghosting

Hello. Forum veteran here

I wrote this lately
feedback?

ghosting
————————------------——-

they call it ghosting
'mainly happens online
like an emptiness
there are sometimes signs
with doors a' closing
like a movies end
there is so much broken
and little to mend

soft shades
left behind, in your mind,
in your house, in your garden
and in those old photographs that you will find

have they moved country,
or busy at the gym?
knee-deep in trouble,
or had a lottery win?
you know they're out there
like some ocean wave
they would sooner perish
than be found warm and safe

fun and games, nobody knows the way
we change, rearrange
see the patterns in the stars as they
slowly fade

ghost shapes
left behind, in your mind,
in your house, in your garden
and in those old photographs, what will we find?

what will we find?
