Whispers Of Our Soul

Ghost

I can't help it
You were like a ghost
In my life one moment
And gone the next

I'm trying to find the rest of the pieces
Something to prove
You were real
And not a figment of imagination

There's hardly any
You never liked cameras
And our moments were never for long
I didn't have time to write it down

One
That's how much I have left
One
Only one thing

It's not even mine
But I still hold on
Trying to trap butterflies
In my hands is useless

It is taken from far away
I can't see the scar on your brow
Or the freckles on your nose
I can hear you though

Three words
They mean the world to me
Because for three words' worth of time
I am lost and free

Your strong voice carries me away
A reality all my own
Where I go to escape these feelings
And these people

These feelings of losing you
These people who don't care
These feelings of suffocation
These people choking me

I can't remember your smell
Or your laugh
Or what your eyes look like
I'm only allowed tiny fractions

They come to me in the dead of night
In the middle of the day
When I'm too tired to open my eyes
Too bored to move

Flashes of you
Your smile comes to my mind
But, like a butterfly
It flits away before I can look twice

Every once in a while
When I sleep maybe
I dream of you
And it's a full picture

I live for that
It's sad really
The one I never see
Holds me together

The person that keeps me going
Probably can't tell you my name
Tragic really
How he can break me over and over

And he doesn't even know it
