Laying Ghosts

One more day
One more night
One more chance
To put it right

One last go
One last try
One last question
Why? Why? Why?

One remaining hope
One remaining dream
One last look
To see what can be seen

And when there’s nothing there
When it’s empty, gone or left
Then I’ll know the time is here
To lay the ghost to rest
