A Lonely Lamppost
Eyes searching for a home, it can call its own.
Bitten lips, and hopeless dreams.
The wind loves to call his name, reminding him each day is the same.
Broken skin, cries and wails.
A nearby tree house sways in the breeze.
Blood staining the walls.
Lonely ghost, lingering around a lonely lamppost.
The host with a crooked smile, stays for awhile.
Dragging you along on a leash.
You've never been strong, tape wrapped around your mouth.
A child who died too young.
With a slip of the tongue, you swung, the faces strung out in front.
Lights flash, that breath would be your last.
Now your lost, and you can't cross.
Lungs in your throat, you wrote your final note.
Lonely ghost, lingering around a lonely lamppost.
The host with a crooked smile, stays for awhile.
Dragging you along on a leash.
I'm sorry to say, but you'll never be at peace.
You're my responsibility, forever a piece of me.
