Are You Here?

I know that you're here

I can sense your tension

My visiting friend

From the third dimension

Ghosting around

In my cavity walls

Like echoing winds

From ancient songs

Your spirit swirls

like a soulful breeze

Are you observing my thoughts?

Are you staring at me?

Can you see your own face

in the picture I hung

While I age through the years

You remain ever young

Please stop venting with rage

Smashing mirrors and glass

Keep control of your hate

For those times have now passed

Are you here my old friend?

Are you haunting this place?

I can hear your cold breath

whispering -

'I never left.'
