Ghost

it is
disappointment’s
lullaby
these tears
are yours
that I cry
I wish
that I could
let go
and give them back
and forget
what we shared
is what we lacked
but ghost
of life can not
fly free
for part
of you
is part of me

OhSlick~
This is EXACTLY what I sometimes feel~

'these tears
are yours
that I cry'


I, too ... 'know' the depths of where this one puddles~

Our ghosts follow us like shadows and sometimes even trip us up.
And I know of only two ways to avoid them . . .

Everytime i am surprised...when i think someone has put my feelings to words perfectly ... some one else seems to touch them in a more profound way...i emphathize with you pain, whether it has left you or it still continues to sting
