Ghost

You used to acknowledge me,

You used to say 'hi' when

You walked in the door,

And saw me sitting there

In the chair, in the corner.

It's like I'm a ghost.

~

You look at me, but it feels

Like you don't see me,

Am I a ghost?

~

You don't talk to me,

Unless I talk to you,

Even then it's like

You don't really hear;

I'm nothing but a ghost.

~

Your silence cuts into me,

The pain consumes me,

I wish you would tell me,

What happened, what I did.

~

I try to cry, but cannot,

The pain has won.

I can't even bring forth a tear,

No matter how hard I try.

This is why I'm now a ghost.
