It's been easy to get lost in the words
that no longer remain
but I keep them locked
hidden in a secret room
beside my heart.
I revisit that room
from time to time
to feel my heart beating
with love and joy again
but it's almost empty now.
I sit quietly at the bare windowsill
looking out for you
mostly wondering
why it all went sour.
Now you're just a ghost
lonely and wandering
just a frament of my imagination.
You come to visit
but you never stay.
Oh, how I wish you would
just stay for awhile
maybe I could be the one
to make you smile.
