haunting with me

my ghost haunts these halls
where the light streams and dust berly still

my essence fills each room
with echos that laughter once filled

my time growing short in this space
where no one cares to be

where my books, my trinkets, my wares
my keepsakes... every part of me

reside-

my memories fill the corridors
once open and filled with love

once i was amidst this world
now I can only watch from above

I try to hold their hands you know
I try to cradle them near

but their hands don't feel my gentle
touch nor arms to cast away fear

with regret-

I watch them cry in these rooms of mine
and try to wonder why

when before my touch and gentle
embrace to them was just a passer-by

now these halls will pass on to
other souls to be

what of my ghost that resides here
what becomes of me?

I go?

pretty good look from a ghosts perspective.

Thank you, although I hope I never find myself haunting those halls anytime soon!
