THE GHOST OF YOU
You know it's kinda amusing
How all the times we spent still linger
Linger about my mind, oh how confusing
Trying to forget the memories but they won't fade away
All the moments of laughter all the things that we'd say.
I find myself weeping some nights
Wishing to reclaim what once was mine
Wishing to clean the slate and clear away our fights
Then there are times I'd hope for a sign
Anything, anything at all to know that you were still there.
You see this heart falls hard
Yet you took it as I gave it to you
And obliterated it to shards
How could you, what did I do?
A question I tire of asking myself.
Some days I was your lover
Nothing but a stranger others
Soon one of us stopped trying
Awkward conversations and a bond slowly dying.
You never did notice it
The light fading from behind my eyes
You never noticed how you were the one keeping them lit
The cure for whenever I cried
Though I'm afraid there's nothing much we can do
Nothing at all when you're the cause
I was slowly breaking and you never even knew
Despite the wails of pure agony leaving my jaws.
It's been years now
Years since we've spoken
Yet I'm always bewildered by how
How to this day I'm still broken
Whenever I peer into a mirror
I find my mind possesses someone else in the reflection
A ghost of someone it couldn't be clearer
Sadly it's cold with no affection
Yet there need be no clue
It's The Ghost of You.
