Ghost

Through the endless tears I’ve shed
And bargaining with all the Gods,
I have been left completely alone
Forced to face my own façade.

With a forced smile here or there
And maybe with whimsical laughs,
I hide the ugly truth deep inside
For my family and friend’s behalfs.

They all say it gets better with time
But who will fill this empty hole,
Left behind by the man I loved
And who once owned me heart and soul.

They don’t know the emptiness I feel
Or the dark thoughts inside my head,
They see who I want them to see
Not the me who is decaying and half dead.

I’ve been told I can’t catch ghosts
And I know this may be true,
But until my final moments of life
I won’t stop chasing you.
