I miss who I used to be— tell me where can she be found? where does she lie buried? where did they tether her grave?
She who shed tears like Neptune shedding diamonds, her pain precious to behold a testimony of the daggers in her chest that they buried without a second thought.
Her face shone in the lone lamplight, placid, fatigued and tired her heart thumped in fear all the time 'cause she knew not whom to trust.
She could have been longanimous, plotting for vengeance with her pain as fuel could've chosen to become bitter should've stopped giving a damn about this world.
But her greatest sin was that she cared too much, so much so that they decided to kill her put her in an unmarked grave and left her to the harsh elements.
I took her place, a mere husk, numb, shattered and a mess missing the girl who was so full of life but was left alone to drown in her own tears.
My heart breaks for her— yes, I am a ghost haunting myself.
