Your Ghost

I’m your ghost
the old you
I’m your ghost
a younger view

I remember
when you were young
you smiled
there were no pressures squeezing your lungs

you played
filled with the sun
and laughed
oblivious to the gun

the gun that’s pointed
straight at your heart
your mind wrapped around the trigger
waiting for the moment to start

to start squeezing
that little black lever
connected to the gun
that from life it could sever

I’m your ghost
from a past long gone
I’m your ghost
from a different dawn

I remember
when you started thinking
dark thoughts
that started you sinking

sinking down
into the ocean
of regrets
and emotion

you had weights
tied to your limbs
you gave up swimming
a smiled at your sins

I’m your ghost
that fled your mind
while you were sinking
into evil that made you blind

it’s only been a few years
and technically your still young
but your mind is old
and your thoughts a new song have sung

I’m your ghost
from a different dimension
I’m your ghost
from before depression
