Your Ghost

I'm starting to see a reoccuring theme... my worst fear.

I know it's too late,

But is it a crime to wish that you could change the past?

I can't think.

It's been so long.  Why did this have to come to pass?

Crying;

Past the buried tomb lays your heart.

Has it bled?

Or is it only mine that has fallen apart?

 

I cannot live without you.

Lying next to me; your ghost.

I cannot breathe between these

Sobbing tears; choking.

You're here beside me.

 

Lying awake,

I cannot sleep.  I cannot keep this up.

Nightmares haunting;

I cannot tell if I've woken up.

Please tell me it's a dream,

That you'll be waiting for me.

Say I'm not alone.

Please come back home.

 

I cannot live without you.

Lying next to me; alone.

I cannot breathe between these

Sobbing tears; choking.

You're killing me,

Here beside me.

 

The moon is isolating my darkest hopes.

Resting on the tomb; stretched across your stone;

Falling on me like blood red snow,

I fade away to join you in death, so cold.

 

I cannot live.

I cannot breathe.

Here beside me in the joyless light,

It isn't worth it.  There's no point in life.

 

I cannot live without you.

Lying next to me; your ghost.

I cannot breathe between these

Sobbing tears; choking; alone.

I cannot scream out loud.

My voice is gone; a hollow cry.

I cannot let this take me.

I'm still alive.

We each have our own ghosts and personal demons to face almost daily... What happens in the past already happened and there's nothing we can do about it at all, but to learn from it and move on... The only way is to move on is to forgive, not just that ghost or yourself, but both of you...

You sure have written some true defintions of the hauntings within our hearts and souls from the past that couldn't be forgotten... Very well descriptions...

Overall, it's all still great tho...

the beat is wonderful and I love the emphasis with the repetition you use. The theme is awfully bittersweet and i could see the blood red snow too well. Good work
