GhostsA Poem by Barry SheltonVerse 1: It all makes so much sense I can hear it in your voice I see it in your eyes Now you've left me not much choice You are everything that I despise But f**k, that's a lie isnt it? you have learned me all to well It's what I tell myself to get by To fill this hollow shell Where can I go tonight to outrun your ghost? Pass out on the floor keeping me warm are the thoughts that burn the most
Chorus: When will I find a place to rest my head? drifting back and forth between lust and a lie My mind is a resting place for the dead memories have engraved themselves to the lids of my eyes see them everytime I fight for sleep I would kill, just for a dreamless night
Verse 2: Just tell me when that sparke left your eye I want to know the truth It's all I am asking for I may not like the answer but hey, at least it's closure Now my heart hits the floor
repeat chorus
Bridge: Is he the one who makes you smile in your sleep? because I know it can't be me It's been a long time coming, but I never thought I'd see you this way and I know there's not much left to say Preventing this, impossible I know stopping this from happening, would be like stopping the winter's snow When he looks at you does your heart skip a beat? don't say a word, I already know the truth The tremble in your voice says it all I'm hanging up the phone and going to sleep © 2013 Barry SheltonAuthor's Note
