Fragmented Ghost

took a blow to the heart
Then woke up with a start
You're just a faded ghost
But you still make me race

You proved problematic
Bridges turn to ashes
You called me problematic
I'm trying not to panic
You're make believe
You're just a ghost
Why does your voice hurt me the most

But I see
We were never meant to be
White lies stitched to my brain
Addiction to love
Addiction to pain

You're just a fragment of a ghost
You're echo hurts the most
But you're drifting away
Slowly like a feather

You're just too late
You left me to my fate
Why does your voice just resonate~

I watch you walk away
I didn't think you'd leave
I thought you knew you meant everything to me

I held you close
You held a knife
I helped heal deep scars
You caused me worse harm

You proved problematic
Bridges turn to ashes
You proved me problematic
I'm trying not to panic

You told me I was safe
I think about all damn day
I just wish you wouldn't fade
before
I fell for you
I wish that you could help me too
