My Sweet Ghost

by The Flame Within   Jan 24, 2010


Oh happiness when did you leave me
and why must you take my laughter with you
what haunts me so?
Is time so slow that my memories feel as though they are the present
all i have is but your frame of joy in which you once stood
your all but gone now, save for your sweet silhouette
your outline is a grim reminder of better days
why must your presence still be felt
how is it that this pain can linger for so long
the clouds of loneliness come together
"dark times" they spell out, "forgotten" is what they form
listen carefully, darkness beckons me
i hear its call even in the deepest of sleep
is life so strange that it must create these feelings just to seem alive?
when will it end, its overcast seems to know no bounds
all i can do now is sit in its storm and hope she spares me
