Happy Halloween!

-X-

I closed my eyes,
I can see you.
I opened my eyes,
And suddenly, you were gone.

"Trick or treat!"

"Peek-a-boo!"

"Happy Halloween!"

"Who's there beside you?"

In the midst of the people walking back and forth,
I see you standing near my porch.
You looked at me and I noticed that your dress was tattered,
A ghost of a smile appeared in your lips as you whispered.

"Happy Halloween."

I opened my eyes,
Felt the sweat as cold as ice.
Thanking the Gods it was only just a dream in this night.

I recalled the parts,
But that's not what scared me the most.
Because the woman in my dream,
Was the person I have once been.

Now I know that ghosts are real,
They live inside of us,
And sometimes,
They win.
