A Broken Ghost (Scarecrow)

Oh, Torpedo,

it just ain't the same!

Since you've been gone

it's like I've been in restraints

 

Just a frustrated Pit Bull

yanking at his chain

Determined to break free

So I can gallop at least

 

Fifty miles past insane...

 

Maybe I'll see you when I get there,

and you'll be crazy enough to love me back

Like you always did

but, we were both too scared to act

 

Or, maybe that's not it at all

Perhaps the story is even more tragic

Could it be that I'd been victimized

by a most nefarious magic?

 

The type that tricks your heart

into believing it belongs,

That it has a place,

and has found it?
