The Ghost

Nightmare seen through eyes of gray
Memories never were and never stay
Empty promise echoes in deaf ear
Earthbound, imprisoned in the never here
No one visits the grave with no name
Shuttering at the thought of shame
This soul was alone in its chamber of darkness
Reaching out into nothing, it felt heartless
No care in this world, the ghost ventures in fear
Whispers from the past always seem to reappear...

...Down the path to ruin leading to an unspoken fate
The ghost desires a life that has been desired too late
Burdens from reminiscing of flesh and bone 
Overwhelm the decomposing thought of home
Breathing has lost its desireer in the lungs of death
Cry the ghost from the past, dispose of the rest
Distant somber sighs rush cold air into the heart
Of a childish dream, holding onto all that fell apart...

...Frozen lips speak of all that is lost
Blasphemous whimpers form like winters frost
The dead walk among us almost in a living sense
Rekindling the spirit once warm with innocence
An undying hand used to touch what once was desired
Now dies in the tide of all hopelessness, killing all once inspired
The ghost seeks the memory of a last hope
Of love, of confusion, of refusal to let go...
