All but Forgotten

I wave hello

but no one sees,

I say goodbye

but no one waves.

I hear my name

floating down the street,

I hear them whisper

awful things

I try to make friends but

they stare right through me,

I try to hug my mother

but she walks away.

My father has a dazed look

on his face,

my brother sobs

in his bed.

Teachers sigh

for school is canceled,

for news crews

flood the place.

My best friend has moved

to a new place,

And old Mrs. Hubbard

has passed.

I have missed

quite a bit,

but why

I have no clue.

Sunday morn

I follow the town,

right behind my mother

in her black gown.

I know there is a funeral

but for who I don't know,

I sit next to my father

but I'm swallowed by the crowd.

"Fiona Ross" says the preacher

and my father starts to cry,

I try to comfort him

but he still cries.

They open the casket

there I lay,

I wasn't ignored at all

I was just a ghost

Realization hits me with

a bang,

and I look at my stone white face

then I faint.
