Ghost of You

It's been since October,

Since I've last heard from you

 

The cold wind blows,

And sometimes,

I hear you calling my name.

 

The ghost of you following me.

Everywhere I go.

 

The sun comes alive,

Giving me hope

That in the end,

Life isn't so bad

after all.

 

I may fall.

I may have my moments,

When I feel like a loser.

 

...Deep down inside

I know that's not true.

 

My life has a purpose,

This, I know.

 

This purpose I've yet to find,

But it's still a long way down.

The road less traveled.

 

All I ask is that you

walk with me

And stay by my side

 

Be my guardian angel,

Be my compass.

 

Guide me in the right direction,

because I don't know

which way to go.

 

I've been lost for so long,

 

It's time I step out of the shadows,

It's time I start living my life.
