i walked down the deserted memory lane
that remained bleak since it was left
i swear i could see the trail of footsteps you took
and hear the sound it made
and feel the melancholy it caused.
but i found myself calling out a name
that was beginning to sound strange
yet i always expected a presence
your presence
so close yet so far
then again it must be your ghost casting shadow on me
now it's the thing that keeps me sane
sometimes i hear your voice echo in the dark alley
i can't be hallucinating, can i?
maybe it's a sign that you'd come back
or a reminder that you've gone.

i think it's more likely the latter
cause i witnessed you locking the back door when you walked out
i doubt you even kept the key.
