I chased phantoms for years,

But never could catch up,

To you.

Lost among the words,

I never got to say,

To you.

Fading into the twilight,

Because that’s all I am,

Without you.

Smashing all the mirrors,

That never again,

Held you.

If only I could go back,

I’d say,

Don’t try to hide,

And make yourself small,

Don’t try to fade away,

Just because it’s hard.

Trust me, little one.

Life’s doesn’t get better,

Once you’re a ghost.
