A Ghost Came To Visit

A ghost came to visit during the night,
        Haunting with visions of what might have been.
Sleep tiptoed from the room with guilt,
        Leaving me alone with another old friend.
 
I wasn’t afraid when the ghost slipped in,
	He’d been a good friend to his bitter end,
But the melancholy ache his end began
	Is a shaft through my soul his ghost can’t rescind.
