No Title

By Philip Kyle Boone

Sometime between 1993 and 1994

 

 
 

There are ghosts that haunt me

That come from shadows of the past

They are thoughts and memories

That will forever last

 

And from these ghosts

I could never try to hide

‚cause these are the feelings

that come from deep inside

 

sometimes they come by day

mostly they come by night

there are even ghosts of pain

like when we’d argue and fight

 

often the ghosts are crying

especially when I read an old letter

they are the hopes, dreams and wishes

that somehow it could have been better

 

the ghosts can also be happy

like how we used to talk and play

and everytime I see these memories

I hope they never go away

 

But it’s just the same

Because it never seems to fail

It’s the thoughts and dreams of yesterday

That leave an empty trail

 

 
     
 

This was written for my X-Wife, during the divorce that I initiated. It was just my way of telling her goodbye.

Of course I was very depressed at the time, but not because I was divorcing her, for that I could not wait.

P.S. I guess I could give it a name....

Ode to Inger.
