Ghost;

I had the best of intentions when I fell in love with You, I thought we'd last

Like the stars - But every star eventually dies

And You did; I don't know who You are anymore

You're just a ghost of who You used to be and Your ghost lays next to me

We used to speak without saying anything, But now Your eyes don't reflect the stars

Like they used to, and now Your touch doesn't feel so soft

But rather like rock against my breaking skin; I'm sinking into You

Your waters are so deep I can't see to the bottom; But I used to see so clearly

To Your depths, I used to know You

But now You're just a ghost of who You used to be and Your ghost sighs next to me

I know your bored, so why don't You just leave

Why do you stick around

We used to speak so softly, but now our words reflect nails against chalkboard

I'm sure You had the best of intentions when You fell in love with me

But You knew we'd never last, so why didn't You leave before

I sank to the bottom of Your ocean

Now my lungs are filled with water and I can't breath

And You reach a hand down to pull me out, but You're miles from me

You won't try to swim to me, You just shrug and walk away

While I suffocate in Your waters - Once upon a time, You would've done anything to save me

You're just a ghost of who you used to be, but your ghost no longer lays next to me
