Don't You Get It? ✅

Ghost

i watched as your footsteps left prints in the mud,

as your tears left stains on my shirt after a hug,

was this not enough?

why cannot my mind rest from one i used to love,

no matter what i try and do,

i still can't somehow get rid of you,

at first sight i got up and ran,

i thought maybe you'd return that helping hand,

now you are a ghost,

a body without any sort of sane host,

now the one i thought i knew is a ghost,

i just can't seem to smile and give you another toast,

for accomplishments that only hurt me more,

when you walked right out of that door,

how could you say 'i miss when,'

when you have no place to begin,

because you are a ghost,

the memories are all gone from the old host,

where did that old soul of yours go?

in which river did you let a person somehow throw,

a soul that is better than what is left of you now,

how could you just let it all drown..
