The ghosts surround me They glow, almost like stars, faint, transparent, barely seen An eerie trace among the depths, trailing me It almost feels suffocating, like I’m on the edge of losing it all Like the phantoms will take me away from this world, plunging me into the darkness They then suddenly start singing The language and words are strangely familiar, like a distant memory too far away for me to remember It feels as though I’m in a trance, a dream-like state, unaware of the boundaries of space and time. It’s almost enough to make me forget you Almost I have questions, so many of them They swirl around in my brain, a mess of loose threads and ends I can’t quite tie together I want to speak, to say the words lodged in my throat To scream out loud for everyone to hear Where are you? No one replies Everything is quiet, except for the soft sound of music I feel tired, my eyelids heavy I want to sleep, to wake up and see that you’re there I want to escape this place, to run away from all these ghosts and shadows following me I want you here I miss you. The ghosts are more visible now, their pale faces emotionless They’ve stopped singing too All eyes are on me, the air suddenly sticky and warm They watch They wait No one speaks They don’t need to I know it’s too late. But somewhere in time, if I could somehow rewind things far enough, I still believe with every bit of me that you’re still there, waiting patiently Smiling Alive I close my eyes I hear faint singing, notes and melodies strung from the past and future, intertwining together The cold wind the ghosts brought has left, replaced with a new warmth They’re bringing me back, back out there without you, And I let them.
