I was waiting for a hand
To catch up with mine
But my hand was left catching
December's cold

I look over to the place
where she used to stand
Not even a fallen pedal
But her scent remains

So I followed the bees
and I saw what was out there
But none of those flowers
Were familiar to me

Where's the flower
I had picked every day?
Who's nectar had
the sweetest taste?
Who's colors were unique
In every way?

I'll keep wishing
For her scent to stay

But where's the flower
I had picked every day?

When lightning has taken your eyes
And you feel like falling rain
With thunder just yelling your name
I can wait inside with you
As we wait for a brighter view

And when every tear
has had it's chance
To warm up to the day
from their blade of grass
The sun will pick them up
And we will be on our way
Dew dew dew
Cause It's a brand new day

I was the first ripple in the lake
To caress you in your fall
But you did not wish to stay

You skipped along
Pursing love on higher depths
And last I saw, you were falling
More than I would've let

Your little stone heart
isn't skipping now
What has you sinking down?

The darkness clasps your heart
Tightly in his hands
What a terrible man

Does the pressure above
keep you below?
And in those cold hands
don't you feel alone?

Do ghosts exist?
If they do
they exist in me

Cause If the past is dead
then we are just ghosts
inside memories


You walk into my mind
Forcing me to run towards
what is no longer real
And your fragmented touch
I can somehow still feel


I will always see you
in your purgatory
that’s bound to me

To haunt all these places
our bodies use to be


Sometimes,
I hear your ghost speak

I get the chills
when I hear you say:

"don't leave me"
This is a redo of my original "Ghosts Inside" that I wrote around a year ago. This version I thought was more personal, being that it's relating to a loved one

There is so much of you
on my mind

that everything else
seems buried

and I feel like
I am too

But standing next to you
all my thoughts just float away

and I am unable to tell you
what I’m thinking

but please,
take my hand..

Unbury me
In regards to missing someone when they aren't there. And when you finally see them you can't find your words. Almost like you're content with just being next to them. Lol

She may look my way
beautiful smile
but if I take a step forward
I imagine
she will step to the side
he is in her life

I may look her way
with a generous smile
and if she takes a step forward
I imagine
she will be mine

Looking out with my eyes
I'm blind

When inside my heart
I hide
