Your ghost that wanders in the night
Leaves me praying to see the light
You whisper so gently in my ear
A voice I wish I couldn't hear
It's not just in dreams that I see there
Its in everything I do and everywhere
Your ghost lingers though you're in the past
It's hard seeing something you cant eve have
The whiskey might as well be water
And therefore my liver is cannon fodder
It doesn't even burn, not anymore
Just like the cold wind that blows on St. Regis's shore
I see the places you've been and wonder
If you're still happy even with all my blunders
I hope you're happy at least because I know I'm not
Wishing your memory was something I forgot
I wonder how you were those few semesters I was gone
Doesn't matter even when I was here you didn't want to talk
I needed you but you didn't need me
Leaving me with nothing to hold on to for eternity
I fight the numbness and the monster inside
Slowly turning into one as my soul starts to cry
Sad thing is my meds won't let me cry
A silent howl that pierces the night's sky
The silence is deafening, wait that's just my tinnitus
Then again it was the same way when my heart was in your trust
I wanted to spend more time, no my entire life with you
But you couldn't even give me the time for kiss or two
I tried to delete your every trace
But my heart still want's to see your face
Your number still stays inside my phone
With a photo of a girl in who I lost hope
I could wait my entire life and I still wouldn't hear
That voice so dainty whispering in my ear
How could someone so small be so cold
You couldn't see it was with you I wanted to grow old
Not able to cry I howl into the night
Praying it will reach you by the morning light
I was the wolf and she my moon
Howling over something I can only swoon
A love that I can never feel or touch
Its on lonely nights I miss her so much
Doesn't matter now if only she could see me
Viewed as a monster she created me to be

Whispers In The Night
PoetryThis was back when it was my last year on campus. I'd walk every acre through the night as if I could hear her whispering to me. The Campus was a ghost town after my friends left and it was only me that remained.
