Ghost

By Wiccad

Hey you, standing in the hall
Can you touch me?
Hey you, over by the wall
Could you help me?
Hey you, please don't turn away
Can you talk to me?
Hey you, laughing and carrying on
Could you look at me?
Hey you, singing my favorite song
Can't you see me?

I am frightened and I am cold
And I am not sureĀ  of my head
Last thing I remember is lying in bed
Why can't I touch or feel...is this for real?
Why is my mother crying again?
My eyes areĀ glazed and hazy
I do believe I'm going crazy
I am standing in the room with family
But no one here is even noticing me
I am not sure if my thoughts are my own
Then someone passes through me......
I wouldn't have believed it, if I wasn't really me
It's all making the kind of sense that's not
I am alone, passed on, my skin is grey like stone
I've been left here alone........I just want to go home.
