What was it?
What?
What made you leave?
I thought I made you happy
Did I make you feel inferior?
I gave you an ear on everything
I know
Then why?
Did I drown you instead of shower you with love?
You were the sun in my day
And that’s bad?
You burned me and made me wither
You were the stars and moon in dark times
But you kept not the ghosts away
Should I have left you in darkness?
Maybe, maybe then I wouldn’t have seen the ghosts
Am I the ghost which haunts you?
You are the tomorrow that I want not my past to live
Allow me to sleep with my demons
So I may wake tomorrow to see you
