Unfinished Business

I dreamed about a world 

Where ghosts never leave.

They roamed the earth 

so ordinarily.


They don't wear white 

but instead wear red.

And they live as if 

They were never dead.


But within this dream, 

I didn't really die...

To appear in that world 

Where ghosts lie...


Instead, through a painting 

That was hung on the wall.

Once I walked through it, 

I can't come back at all.


From the world I now live in -- 

the world of no more,

I sometimes cry 

whenever I see my dad by the door...


I call out to him 

with tears and regret.

But he can't hear me, 

Not even a bit...


So everyday, in that new life

I lie staring through the wall...

Waiting for someone

To answer my call...
