"The Ghost"
10/12/2013

Don't you wholly regret and resent
this vile creature desperately sent
on stilted limbs, that withered and bled in the sin
when touched by violent winds
 saw you somewhere deeper within
If you seek what I sought
I will take you where I've been

Do you pray disintegrated you've not passed away
your memory not cast into the dark and the vast
If you can stand, come with me, take my hand
We're a leper together outcast forever
made of things not meant to last

I hope that your motive for emotion will mend
I pray that again we'll meet in the bitter sweetness of the end
After sickness and death have mortally descended
upon both you and I
May our souls never die

But if they too are not meant to endure
I'll leave with my shoe, a footprint deep in the earth
the vaguest impression, eyes closing in on mine
But what you see is unclear
But you cannot deny it
shadows move quicker than sound and sight
Deep in the illusion of life and light

If you are here, with me,
I won't let you fade into nothingness
I can't prevent your dissention or low intention
Forever feeling both torture and bliss
I give to you my heart and soul,
It I can no longer hold
the undying torture
or the uncontrollable bliss
I give you all of this
For I no longer seem to exist
