The Soliloquy of a Ghost

Looking over my mangled body

With the eyes fixed with fear

I weep for the beauty I never possessed

Draped in shadow, abandoned by nature

Where many had buried their futile tears

I lay in desolation, but not at rest

Out of the darkness, I crawl

Torn, I bleed in my mind

Unable to endure, I fall

Guilt and regret stains my hand

As all hope fades away

Your breath is a thing I can still recall

Your rash rude gaze mingled with fear

I stand, the wretched man

Squinting outside at dawn

My hunch turns to hope

Towards the light is where I ran

Will the morning glory make me newborn?

But my head is heavy and sore

With bells ringing in the dawn

I know I lie, I know I will die

My mind is a mess, and vision obscured

I try to look where you have gone

And because you live, so shall I
