~Ghost~

I lay
in the
long grass
bitter and sweet
don't look
down

so many
people pass
stars and waves
collide


willingness
you and me
if i trace
it will be lost
a ghost
far from
sight
running from
the cold
 
I lost
everything I
could lose
and the
storm breaks
waiting for
the feelings
to come

how can
I make
it stop
if I'm
nothing to
you

tucked in
shadows you
left behind
be careful
someday I
might be
someone new

the abyss
lost in
your heart
go on
haunt me

sitting on
the porch
watching rain
crystallize
the world
a bird
sleeping in
the wind

I want to
be found
the last card
you turn
over
is the
only one
that matters

the feeling
of it
exciting like
a drug
that hooks you
nowhere
becomes somewhere

I got lucky
here's to
another day
of outward
smiles
and inward
screams

you won't
open the door
even if
I open my heart
a less
ten
innocent
vacant
parallel sighs

a beautiful
soul
the night
broke
with electric
blue
in black glass
something
holding on
from the
passenger side
