Ghost

The initial surprise covers emotion

numbs out every thought you could hope to have

life goes on and you walk....

but the world seems to run right past

your just a ghost....

 

REALITY

everything you are warned about sets in

the deterioration is unfamiliar

but that doesn't stop it from happening

and you are a ghost......

 

SEDATION of the mind seems to help

and you live in the scenes of a dream

as your skin goes cold

you fade into knowing

that you are a ghost......

 

LIFE breathes back into your lungs

and your being shifts out of imagination

a final burst of hope

as you begin to decide you will not become

a ghost.....
