The Ghost Of What We Were

- originally written October 19, 2006 -

Can you hear my whispers in the silent stillness?
Do you miss the way I took care of you in illness?
Can you feel my heartbeat in the depth of your soul?
Do you miss the feel of my hand in yours on a stroll?

Do you miss my warmth when you sleep alone?
Can you see that the distance between us has grown?
Do memories of me occupy your every thought?
Can you live from now on through this distraught?

Does the ghost of what we were haunt you consistently?
Dare to ask yourself why you did it, and do so persistently!
Is it torture to know that this torture is your own fault?
When you find the answer, take your logic with a pinch of salt!

Because I would have stood by you through all life could bring!
And you can never justify that you put an end to this good thing!
Don't ever even dare ask me to forgive you; because I won't do it!
This is all your own fault; you're the coward who decided to quit!
