The Ghost and the Girl

Time has passed, but I can't sleep,
weighed by memories that I keep.
In the dark, it's your eyes
that I see.

Your last words play in my head,
a radio of all you said.
Don't you know, my love,
you're haunting me?

Who's the ghost, and who's the girl?
Can't make sense of a senseless world.
Hang onto a moment of
clarity.

From the veil
you reach to me,
shadows surrounding me,
as heart-shaped stones
collect at my feet.

Don't you know you've gone too far?
Feeding dreams beneath the stars.
In the quiet, I feel you
watching me.

You failed to stand, instead, you fled,
left me these voices in my head.
And every year takes me
further from you.

Who's the ghost, and who's the girl?
Can't make sense of a senseless world.
Hang onto a moment of
clarity.

From the veil
you reach to me,
shadows surrounding me,
as heart-shaped stones
collect at my feet.
