He watches me. Dark or light. He stands, he waits. Waits for what? Last night he smiled at me, I asked him why. He told me a story of a girl Who sounded awfully like me. "One day she will realize why I am here," He said. And still he watches me. Dark or light. He stands, he waits. Three years ago I had asked him why, If I ask again now he won't respond. "Who are you?" I ask, "Some one important," He says. And still he watches me. Dark or light. He stands, he waits. Twelve years I had asked him who he was. I grow weaker. My days on earth are numbered. I am hooked to IVs and still he stands. And waits. When I close my eyes for the last time, I realize who he is.

The Ghost That Waits
He watches me. Dark or light. He stands, he waits. Waits for what? Last night he smiled at me, I asked him why. He told me a story of a girl Who sounded awfully like me. "One day she will realize why I am here," He said. And still he watches me. Dark or light. He stands, he waits. Three years ago I had asked him why, If I ask again now he won't respond. "Who are you?" I ask, "Some one important," He says. And still he watches me. Dark or light. He stands, he waits. Twelve years I had asked him who he was. I grow weaker. My days on earth are numbered. I am hooked to IVs and still he stands. And waits. When I close my eyes for the last time, I realize who he is.
