Your ghost

I feel a little sad today
My head’s on fire and the memories are choking me alive.
I never asked you what you wanted, what you needed.

I never looked close enough.
If only I had known there was a hell of a storm you needed to weather.
Something rumbling deep inside.
Something that a little bit of sunshine could have subsided.
I know I was less than ok at this, but people can change.

We can be better.
If I let my steel walls come down.
Stop running this marathon of nowhere, as fast as I can.
We can be better
We waited til it was too late
How could you have known

We both crossed that line
I’m acting like I don’t care
But I swear I’m just scared
Deep down this is killing me
I still feel your ghost from time to time
…All the time
Time can heal but this wont
I guess misery loves company

And your ghost will always be with me.

Steel walls never came down.
Running, running getting nowhere fast
Could haves
Should haves
How could you have known
We both crossed that line
We just let this go

…but your ghost will always be a part of me.
