The Ghost

(I wrote this a while back, but I don't remember when.)

The ghost that remains,

A beautiful pain to bear,

Every day, wishing that it'd fade,

That maybe I could once again care.

Filled with broken hopes and dreams,

The fragments biting at my hollow encasing,

Stabbing the fault lines, the bursting seams,

Her ghost I find myself still chasing.

Life is never what it appears to be,

Nothing forever lasting,

So I’ll cherish the lights all around me,

Because of the shadow they’re always casting.
