talking to ghosts

experiment -- a boy is talking to his ex-girlfriend, who died of unknown reason a few days after they broke up

i don't remember you

not much, anymore

i have pushed away

the haunting thoughts

i know it wasn't

exactly my fault

i can't help but wonder

if i had loved you like i should have

would you still be here?

i'm calling to you now

what happened?

why did you do what you did?

you didn't deserve it

and i still don't know if it was

a murder, suicide, accident

or if it was all three

oh, don't you worry

your pretty little mind

it wasn't a murder, or a

suicide, or an accident

indeed it was

just the passing of time

passing us by

and your love would have made

none the difference

i gave up on you

long ago, like i should have

so don't you worry

i'm here, i'm alive

in your heart

sometimes it feels like

i can hear you talking

whispering to me

things i don't want

to believe

i know that you are

nothing more than a corpse

buried under soft earth

where your heart is finally

at peace, with itself

but i cry silent tears

every day and night

when i think about your

beautiful soul

surrounded by ugly thoughts

you do hear me, and i know you know it

you just have to believe

trust me, darling, i am right here

beside you, watching you

do not cry so

i will tell you the truth

when the time is right

for now, your future is bright

so take it in your stride

forget about the past

and live on, carry on

remembering and remembering

leads to nothing at all

you tell me to stop and forget

but don't you see how hard it is

you mean so much

to me, my dear

and don't you forget

the cold summer days that we spent

together, on the couch, 

watching tv shows on repeat

i fell for you and i'm still

falling for you

even when you are gone

i won't ever forget,

i can't forget now

i remember every minute, every second

every movement, every smile

i loved you so

i fell for you

and i'm still

falling for you

even when i am gone

but you must stop talking

to me, stop talking to your ghosts

the demons that hide within

remember how good it felt to love

and love again, love freely

oh, but i cannot

i love you

you and only you

you're my one and only

my forever, my infinity

you may have passed

with the time and summer days

but i will meet you

someday soon

and i still

love you

you are falling for an illusion

this is but a delusion

please, darling

forget it all...

forget me, forget us, forget we

it is time for you

to stop

talking to ghosts

and set yourself free

Beautiful and deep, how tragedy leaves us longing for closure yet the closure might not be what we want to hear. Lovely to read
