Ghost

sorenbarrett

I'm a ghost,

like smoke in the air, here then not there,

when needed most

 

I'm a fraud,

joy you had, now you're sad,

without a God

 

I'm a lie,

a memory distorted, a dream aborted,

a tear in your eye

 

I'm a spark

So quickly does go the ember's glow,

leaving you in the dark

      Ghost rider in the sky or ghost writer on the sly I'm not sure. Thanks Orchi

      You are the Ghost of thoughts that hide in the recesses of our minds. Without shape or form you plague us in those dark places. A remarkable ghost story, all too real my friend. A great write!
