Shadow Ghost

by @ShannonSoeganda

Never in my life would I ever want to come back to a mistake like you— Never once, Never was, Never am, Never will. You might have all the forever within grasp, because you’re a ghost, and ghosts have forever. But not everyone is you, not everyone is privileged with any next lifetime. Time with you is a time wasted, wasted with all of your over-glorified ghost— that the devil himself is scared of you, even your only shadow leaves you in the dark. And there you are, there you always will be; Cast out alone in the void of darkness for eternity— bequeathed with eternal guilt; for you are nothing much, but a mere shadow; a ghost of the lingering past (not) worth reminiscing.

What kind of person is stupid enough to come back to a mistake in a form of a human being?
