You Must Be A Ghost

You must be a ghost
Reminds me of times gone by
We wait for a storm
To cleanse out mistakes
But slowly I begin to realise
That nothing is ever the same
As our bodies decline
They try to bleed hope from mine
You must be a ghost
To shine so bright
They try to bleed hope from mine
You shine so bright
I’m starting a permanence
A monument to a different world
Where we don’t run away from loss
But now lean into love
Shifting our narratives
We’re building a new home
For once we will have won
You must be a ghost
I’m not saying that this isn’t enough
But we’ve not been working for oh so very long
When you said that the cloud looks just like an island
You came and you went
Another shadow for me to collect
The words that I said
‘Don't worry, the world keeps on turning’
I never witnessed
Because you never left
Your body, the sun
I cannot see clearly
When you are just a ghost
This wasting, this cancer
From winter to summer
Alone I can answer
Can realise my guilt
I am destroyer of worlds
I am the eye of the storm
And the link in the chain
For once I can see everything
I am born and I will die
But for now we are in-between
You must be a ghost

From the moment I first saw you
I knew this was the end
We’re finding our innocence
With stories that don’t exist
To be found
To be set free
The wasted days
We’ll find our way
It breaks my heart
To see you this way
To care so much about someone
Who doesn’t care about themselves
You only see the end
Well I see you everyday
And I refuse to give up
You’re not the only one in pain
It takes some time
To feel safe
But it doesn’t know
And it can’t be controlled
We’re not safe in our minds
We’re not safe in our hearts
It breaks my heart to see you this way

What did you say?
My memory
In the meantime
Not what once it was
It’s not the same
It seems so easy
To explain
To those that don’t believe
No! At once my eyes deceive me
What did you say?
I can’t relate
I can’t conclude
I can’t hear anything you did not say
What would it take?
To light a match
Jump over this fire
I would do just that
If it meant
Meant anything at all
To feel the flames
Licking at my feet
And so it’s on and on and on and on
It’s on and on
I’d walk along broken glass
Just to see your face
What more can I provide?
My feet all crushed in wounds
A couple of winters ago
We went to meet your parents for the weekend
The train left early and you slept most of the way
I read a book but could barely concentrate
Looking out of the window
Fields as far as the eye could see
And for a brief moment the forward momentum
Was the happiest I will ever be
No past, no present (Only future)
The subtle promise of a better day (Only you)
Our history, our mistakes (Only future)
The before and the forever afters (Only you)
And the same sound keeps rolling around in my head
That fateful memory that I wish I could forget
It was a mistake
It was a mistake
It was a mistake
And all the while it’s said and done
In violence
You trace the lines across my back
In silence
I’d walk along broken glass
Just to see your face
What more can I provide?
My feet all crushed in wounds
And as the saying goes
We all love what we regret
I’m not sure that’s true
But I guess they had it right
When all the while
It’s said and done
You trace the lines across my back
It’s not the same
It’s never easy
To explain to those that don’t believe
(And the same sound just keeps rolling)
What I said that day
It isn’t what I meant
I left you crying at your desk
I am so torn
What would it take?
To light a match
And jump over this fire
I would do just that
You are so optimistic
What can I say?
It’s not the same
It seems so easy
Into the unknown
No past, no present
Only future
