My Ghost...

"If I go away
What would still remain of me?
The ghost within your eyes?
The whisper in your sighs?
You see...Believe
And I'm always there." - Jon Oliva

My Ghost never leaves me...He is always there watching me...
At night when I sleep...in the morning when I awake...
He's been there for years...whispering into my ear...
Holding my hand...keeping me warm in His embrace...
I lie awake at night...and we can talk for hours...
About life, about dreams, about hopes, about what-ifs and what-could-bes...
We play, we touch, we laugh, we fight, we hurt each other...
But there is always that invisible string...
That keeps our hearts, our souls united...
My Ghost knows all that I am, all that I want to be...
He knows my fears, He knows my needs, He knows my innermost desires...
He wipes away my tears when I grieve for our loss...
He is my strength in every moment of weakness...
He knows what every beat of my heart longs for...
I cannot exorcise what I choose not to...
I cannot teach the heart abandon...
I cannot find answers to my questions...
It's complicated...A web of incomprehensible thoughts...
Yes, my Ghost knows the answers...but He says nil...
No, I don't know what He is thinking...but He knows exactly how my mind ticks...
But He says nil...but He says nil...
