I am your ghost.
The shadow of your existence.
You were the light that shone upon me and - now that you are gone - I’m lost in the night – unseen.
I reach and reach and reach…
but only a couple reach back.
And the more I work on not trying so hard,
The more I learn
How little everyone else will try
To bridge the gap.
It’s all me…
or nothing.
And I need to learn to be alone.
I need to learn to stop caring.
To learn to be enough
For myself,
Because I am the only thing promised to me.
Everything and everyone else is fleeting...
Lost to heaven.
Lost to hell.
Lost to their own little world -
A busy place where there is no room for me.
I guess I should understand...
YOU were once my world.
YOU were my everything.
MY busy place.
And it’s only now that you're gone
That I realize how lonely and empty my world can get.
And I’ve juggled the broken promises
And chased the what-ifs.
And please know…
I tried.
Please, please, please know that I gave it my all.
But you can’t get blood from a rock, no matter how hard you try.
So, my Angel and I will walk this path together.
My Angel and I will walk this path alone.
No more invites.
No more calls.
No more effort.
No more outreach.
But I will make sure to make room…
Just in case
Someone else
Should choose to join us along the way.
