I saw a ghost today...
Of a familiar face
Pale, tired and stricken with hate
He looked at me with a sullen gaze
Within cold eyes I could see his fate
Once filled with dreams so great
His heart was now empty of love
but so full of weight...
I saw a shell today..
Of someone I once knew
A smile spoke lies hiding what was true
Behind it, his face was blue
He did well hiding all that he’d been through
For he gave no clue of the pain
Tearing him in two..
I saw a shadow today..
Of eyes that once shown bright
Once filled with wonder and light
Were now dull, sullen, and grey
Changed by the struggles he faced
All he wanted to do was run and hide
When my eyes met his
I could see past his pride
and saw the hole hidden inside…
I saw a ghost today and it scared me...
How much reflections change….
