I got closure from a ghost
When I needed it the most
Allowed me to finally heal
Resentment I no longer feel

Thank you for the delayed closure
It has helped me to see the light
Now my wings aren’t so heavy
And I can finally take flight

If you only knew how long I’ve waited
Now I know the definition of fated

Time after time, year after year
A ghost from my past reappears
I reassure him I’m still here
But he vanishes out of fear

Everyone lives in their own little world constructed carefully of their own adversaries & affinities. Sometimes we let people in & they can be unaware of what a mess they make of our fragile bubble-like universes. Maybe their world is indestructible & they do not know yours has old frayed duct tape keeping the cracks held together. I have sat still under this dilapidated bridge built with many shortcomings & for many years I have been waiting for brave footsteps to approach & now I curse them for their destruction of my rickety facade. Who is more to blame for my unstable foundation?

Why couldn’t I say goodbye
Why couldn’t I get things off my chest
Why did you have to ghost me
Why did I have to lay you to rest

For so long I was empty
‘Til I realized I’m not
I’m full of love aplenty
My heart simply had forgot
