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

Interesting write Mike. The ending reminds me of the things that are gone from sight but don't go away.
