my ghost
I have left the world of lyrics for a time
My pain relives with every rhyme
Heartache infests my PTSD mind
Haunted by the ghost I’ve left behind
Peace is proving hard to find
Inviting the ghost in from time to time
I have no exorcism in mind
Stay with me ghost, don’t cross over the line
I miss my pale friend so sublime
Bitter sweetly I know he will perish and pine
But his peace is his own, I pray he will be fine
I still see him floating, I take it as a sign
My ghost is strong and to failure will disincline
It hurts to know we may never realign
I hope that amity is still our design
Meanwhile I will not sit and confine
Regardless of loss I still have a spine
I re-enter the world on a steady incline
Maybe one day lyrics will again take on a happy shine
