Ghost

Beyond recognition

Friends petition for his return to form

But they can’t see that the man they once knew is no more

He phased away

Yet his physical remained the same

You can call him out but he won’t answer to his name

Initially

He gradually wilted and lost his luster

Was once radiant with life

Now his branches lack their color

It was obviously

Ominous

That he was merging to the other side

Where death waits

This hellscape see he was ready to die

A sweet relief

He breathed deep and exhaled the hope was left

In pursuit of another he lost his self respect.

Now his only hope is chasing ghost

I fear he’s gone astray

To a place where self dies from trying to hold on to today.

Move on to the other side.
