Am I a ghost

That haunts your thoughts

When you wake up

In the middle of the night?

I try to stop myself

From talking to you

'Cause I know I'll be ignored

Just like all the times before.

But sometimes, the words

Just slip out,

And you hear them so clearly,

But they never find response.

When we fell apart

More than one thing shattered,

And it looks like you

Worked so hard to fix all of the others.

They never had any objections

To you just coming back after

Leaving all of us

In nothing but dust and despair.

I think they know

How much I hate

Hearing your name

Spoken to me.

I think they know

How much it hurts

To be reminded of

The thing I've lost.

I do not blame them

For not seeing this the way

That I do, 'cause in the end,

I was the only one who got hurt.

You act like we have never been

Anything at all.

And to you,

I seem to be just a ghost

Who is present at all times,

Cruel reminder of what you've lost,

But still forever ignored,

Like I'm the one haunting the other.
