The Ghost
After years had passed
and mind was gone.
I stepped into the woods
and trailed the traces of my heart.
I'm still not sure
what I was expecting
what I thought I'd may not see.
I did.
As I was giving up
surrendering, in faith I was a fool.
I couldn't help but noticing
a movement in the trees.
It was a floating mass of dark
a liquid steamy shape.
It formed itself into a man
and started on its way.
I couldn't stay.
With shaking limbs and trembling soul
I ran.
I stumbled upon ground and crawled
But I still ran.
I fled
I fled from him
From one I've known so long.
I fled from him.
I never even saw his face
I don't think he had eyes.
Though I can tell he stared straight into mine.
I won't forget the look.
The penetrating doom of Destiny he cursed me with.
The glow of satisfaction
of joining mine with his.
The Biggest Loss
the biggest loss is not another human being
it's not even your family
your one true love
your favorite pet
it's not your best friend
the biggest loss you'll ever make
is losing yourself.
the biggest loss
is looking back
and knowing, it's the best you ever had.
it's looking back, and knowing
you can't get back the past.
you can't grow back young
you'll only grow more old.
you can't get back those times
the happiest you've ever been
no matter how bad, how much you want
the pictures on the walls won't come alive
you lost.
you'll keep losing again
you're losing very now.
but still, the worst part of it all
is having doubts it ever happened.
because you've lost it all
so how can you be sure?
