My Ghost
I still remember the day I died
And swam away from sanity's shore
Though the ghost of me still feels alive
I'm the only one here who knows
I still keep an eye on the gone side of life
With my family and my friends
Though no one knows when I come and go
Or that I am still here
One day I may communicate
As yet I don't know how
So I just sit here with them, alone in me
That's all so far that I can do now
I've heard there's a light that can set me free
But I'm afraid that I can't come back
And I do enjoy their company
Happy with where I am at
A ghost that knows no other
Than this glass wall I hide behind
Neither here nor there but off somewhere
Stuck between eternity and time
If there was anything here that I could change
It would be the accident that day
Where it all happened to fast to take it all back
Gone from sight but not gone away
