The ghost

The ghost of you lingers behind me.

A pale shadow, a whisper in the air,

Yet when I turn there is nothing to see,

Only a reflection of my soul, laid bare.


The ghost of you steadily follows me.

And I am ashamed, for I need this.

You are everywhere, yet cannot be free,

For I can't admit I lost what I miss.


The ghost of you quietly haunts me.

And with you comes sorrow and regret.

Into the night air I wail my apology,

For even now I continue to be in your debt.
