I am the one who keeps awake to watch

Clouds drift across the great white moon

The sandman often withholds from me

Beads from which dreams are sewn



My memories of love haunt me

Still pure--like a new born dove

Great white moon with me tonight

Speak to me from the skies above



For so long I have been suffocated

By the loneliness I cannot breathe

I open the window to let in air, but

The night stares blindly back at me



His ghost stands in the dusty curtains

Then disappears without a trace

Like clouds across a pool, I read

His thoughts across his ghostly face



I know him well, I remember him

His eyes I once thought divine

Once when I prayed for his heart

Believing it could be mine



Staring at the ghost fondly thus

What vision should I see?

None, but my own pale yellow face

That grins and mimics me



Clouds shift across the great white moon

I listen to the ticking of the clock

The calendar says a year has passed

Changed only is the door's lock



Sleep finally comes to close my eyes

Asleep, in the dying dark

Hope's fluttering now disturbs no more

The perfect sleep of my heart
There's a ghost in the window mother, make it go away-

Came back to this after a really long time, and wondered:-

What category does this come in? Do you think it would count as narrative writing? What images play in your mind as you read this?

I want feedback on this because this is one of my older poems, and my writing style has changed so much since I oined dA I just had to stop and evaluate whether that was for the better or not.
