Ghost



Roaming the empty halls 
stardust is all I've found 
memories of long ago 
and I'm forgotten 
but homebound 

Closing these dusty cupboards 
like everything 
nothing really mattered 
sometimes i can hear my own teeth chatter 
and i know I'm too far away 
from the places i should be sleeping 

Reliving this sacred dance 
close to the eclipse 
but i have no chance 
basking in my ignorance 
I know i am indifferent 
to everything that surrounds me 
as these memories overwhelm me 

Opening the closed doors 
back to the way 
everything was before 
and now i know 
I'm lost for sure 
to everything stretching open 
inside of me.
