a ghost is a wish

i walk

these roads.

these pathways,

these halls,

alone.

memories

threaten to spill

out, pushing

against my mind,

invading

my senses.

regrets scream

past me,

reminding me,

digging

into my head.

regrets.

regrets of

actions;

taken

and not taken.

words

said and

not said.

digging

holding

rooting

never to leave.

ghosts

fill my eyes.

ghosts

of friends,

family,

me.

i scream,

wanting

to end

these visions i scream,

but nobody hears.

there is only

me.
