the ghost of you

you feel like a ghost to me,
someone i once knew so well,
now someone i've lost.

i wake in the night feeling a faint
touch to my cheeks,
where your hands once caressed my face,
when i open my eyes...
the hopes of you being there are erased,
the loneliness starts to set in.

i wait for the tears to stop
and for sleep to find me.
maybe if i close my eyes
you'll come back to me in my dreams.

you're alive but in my heart and in my mind,
you've been dead for quite some time.
