I imagine ghosts exist

I imagine ghosts exist, if only to float and dance through the mist.

Not remembering who or what they are.

 

They don't speak, they don't weep

Instead they howl, gut-wrenching

Echoing down emptied halls.

 

Passing through spiders spinning webs

brushing the dust off statue heads

Forgetting names, or important places

 

They don't speak, they don't weep

Instead they wander, broken

Peering through ***** windows.

 

I imagine they prefer to haunt empty homes

Places like them, left alone

Gutted, hollow, naked rooms

 

They don't speak, they don't weep

Instead they haunt, barley noticed

Wailing for their names
