did i say ghosts?
i really meant one in particular
i can't see who is speaking
don't know if i really hear her
i feel like she's calling
a regretful shallow shade of grey
sometimes she seems to be falling
hardened in a shell of clay
are you still angry
at the way he left you all alone?
have you found a way to forgive
the act that left you on your own?
curse the day your heart was broken
even though you're gone
your spirit seems to carry on
would you tell me to stay strong?
or has it been pointless all along?
i'd gladly take your ghostly hand
if you can help me understand
are you still lonely
because he went so far away?
tenured visits barely started
summered sunsets on the bay
curse a child's arms left barren
even though you're gone
your spirit seems to carry on
would you tell me to stay strong?
or has it been pointless all along
if your spirit i remand
i may lose this vital strand
