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
