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.
Yesterday would have been my dad's 69th birthday. I miss you, dad. Meaning behind "Ghost of You": https://thoughtsandactions.net/2016/06/17/meanings-behind-poetry-part-vi-ghost-of-you/
