Pain and Serenity

ghost

A figment of my imagination is what you use to be

Were you ever someone that could ever be with me?

A phantom is what you appear to be

But why after all of this time?

All the laughs that we had

Were they all just a lie?

Was I just another game to you?

All the memories I thought we shared

To only realize that you were never there

Why now after a lifetime?

Decades in the making

And I was so blind

My head was in the clouds head over heels with an image of what we could have been

Just as I thought you were never real

You upped and left

And in better terms you simply disappeared

All of the images I thought I had of you are slipping away

But now that I think of you, I never saw your face

It is all a blur to me

I guess it was my mind deceiving me

All the cries I had were by my lonesome

While I listened to sad tunes that helped me think about you

No matter how long it's been you will always live on within me

Because you are now a part of me

In everything I do I see you

And I will never let you disappear

Not even from my dreams

Although none of it was real

It helped me be more at peace

It's a sense of peace that will comfort me until I dig my grave

You may not be here

But I can still hear you whisper my name in the dead of night

Even though it's a figment in my mind

You will always be by my side

And I will never let the memories die

You are the ghost that has chained my life

And it was just the way it was destined to be
