The Ghost Of You

I’m not gonna tell you a lie.

I’m not doing that well.

I miss you so damn much.

I’m going through endless hell.

One day you up and left.

I don’t know where you went.

I fall asleep holding your pillow.

Because it still holds your scent.

Left all on my own.

Since you have been gone.

You made it look so easy.

But I just can’t move on.

What about your mail?

I don’t know where to send it.

The way you disappeared.

I can hardly comprehend it.

I seem to have lost count.

Of all the tears I’ve shed.

The pain is overwhelming.

So much was left unsaid.

I didn’t see the signs.

You left without a warning.

So I sit here alone.

Our love, I am still mourning.

Now I am a broken shell.

One half of a soul.

Where once I was complete.

Now I am not whole.

All the years spent together.

Must have been a waste of time.

My writing has lost all meaning.

My words have lost their rhyme.

One day I’ll come to terms.

With the fact that we are through.

But until that day finally comes.

I’ll have to live with the Ghost of You.
