Ghost

Please tell me it was just a dream,
A tasteless nightmare I can’t get outta my head,
Retrace the steps where we’ve all been,
That no one remembers and everyone seems to forget.

I can see you now,
With that impish smile and an,
Attitude so bright it could blind the sun,
My only question is how,
When your eyes gaze into mine,
That I’m reminded how you had fallen from everyone.

But when I open my eyes,
It’s no f*cking surprise,
That you’re no longer here with me,
I can still see those scars,
When you reached up for the stars,
That dragged you in then spat you out for everyone to see.

How can I hear those footsteps every night that are never there?
A day right now is worth dirt compared with just a second by your side,
Rushin’ around and striking my nerves, I’ve lost the colour in my life,
Racin’ around my hollowed head are memories of you caught in time,
You were mine...

Never lettin’ you leave my mind.

All those people become strangers again,
As if nothing ever happened and nothing ever did,
Pretending there was just a blank space where you were back then,
But f*ck that! It was great while it lasted, and you had so much more to give.

Nights are frozen coldly now,
My soul has eroded hollow now,
I cherish the sound of your voice in my mind,
But it’s distorted and feint against the test of time,
No one has ever treasured you as much,
I may be humble all that petty stuff,

But you taught me to see the light of day-
Even when the sky is filled with black smoke and flesh decay.

Couldn’t turn my cheek and witness your worse than death fate,
Hasn’t left my mind when it was your head being served on a silver plate,
Raised your heads high to only to’ve been struck down that day,
It’s impossible to believe it wasn’t a hell of a fall from grace,
Sometimes when it’s lonely and quiet I can sense I’m not alone,
Trying and begging and wishing I’m not just going crazy, though,
Over a time that everyone has forever lost all those ages ago.

You’re like my ghost-
That reassuring push into the light,
When it’s felt so bleak I could lose my last breath tonight,
You may’ve been completely dropped out,
But when I close my eyes and set my sights for the skies I know you’re watching over me,
I want you and need you right now,
I’ve screamed so hard I’ve passed out,
I miss you...
And I will for the rest of my life,
Right up until I have to die,
I want to see you in the skin and blood and bones like I always used to,
Like the larger than life guy I grew and knew to love,
But for now...
Farewell, forever.
