Ghost

81 3 7
                                    

A whisper of a voice that I used to know

From way back when, a long time ago, 

And a rushing warmth runs through my veins

For a fleeting moment...

And my head hits the pillow as my eyes open wide

And in an instant I'm left feeling cold inside

Because my dreams they feel so real

But never last...

And I'm holding on to the past.

My feet hit the ground with a miserable thud

And my heart beats in time with the rush of my blood

And the gaging hole inside my heart

Is raw and open wide...

Becase this kills me inside. 

And my eyes stare back from the holes in my head

I remind myself that I am not dead

Just a ghost of a person who once thought

They'd found love...

Until they were shot from above.
