The Phantom of My Mind

Concealed behind my thoughts You use my emotions to control me Memories are a part of your ruse You trap me in my dreams Haunting me What is it you seek wraith? Is it my failure you wish to exploit? Are you a figment of hope in my head? Why do I want you here? I miss you You keep me up at night restless ghost You look just like her, sound like her But, you are not My internal eternal illusion That is all you are Please, get out of my mind Like a god you're ambient in my brain My own cognitive Labyrinth, I'm lost You're my muse, my phantom Of the mind
