Ghost

You’ve haunted my mind

You’re the unavoidable plague

I have desired.

My skin tingles with excitement

Hearing the sound of your voice

Like the sound of distant shores.

Distance has kept us apart

But memories of you still linger

Every time I see someone smile.

Let me tell you that I’m a ruined soul

I’m the piece of crap everyone throws away

When the thing has outlasted its value.

You’re my angel, my hope

My only connection from insanity

From the past I used to walk on to.

I hope you’re well for here I am

Still searching for light from the darkness

That has kept me from reaching out to you.
