Only a Memory

The words that I knew to be true

Once said from me to you

Echo throughout this hollow room

The life that I once knew

Ended in the fire that purified you

And left me to linger in this hollow room

Now a memory of who I used to be

And now a ghost

Still haunted by every lie

And now a memory of what once stood before me

And now a ghost

Now so hollow and lost in the shadows

Now just a ghost

In the in between for eternity

Every thought fades away from

Every word is a whisper that cannot be heard

I will fade to darkness

I will stay where I am

With no light in my hand

I will stay in darkness

I don’t even recognize myself

I don’t even know who I am

Can I be free from this hell?

Or will I become like the wind

Transparent and void

Will I hear my name again?

I don’t think so

For now just a ghost

Lost in the shadows

For eternity

I’m only a memory
