Just a ghost

I am a ghost unseen by most.
Under the sheet I hide the truth.
Always a pain when I rattle my chains.
An unheard voice of past regrets.

Eyes so hollow scared by sorrows rain.
Under the white a broken soul be.
So empty with lost gravity cannot hold.
Lost within the world of life.

My chains hold me.
Just a ghost unseen by most.
Hollow and transparent.

Unwelcome by most for I am a ghost 
Words cannot control me.
Pain has bound me.
Minds have forgotten me.

Love has left me.
Within time I shall fade to be.
Forgotten by most for I am a ghost.
