Ghost

I see you

Bold against white light

Just as you stood before the sun at home

But we are not there anymore

And I am but a shadow that follows you

Weak in the day

Finding freedom in the dark

I try and fail

to emanate what I once was…

(skin and bone and pleasure for you)

…I hide behind you all the same

Underneath your weight

I covet your heroism

The way you best this hand of nature that has twisted me so
