Are you that ghost? (Corey) *

Are you that ghost
in the motes of dust
who I see when my eyes
are too tired to focus ?

Are you the friend
I lost on the way
Is it true, we have
nothing left to say ?

Are you the choice
I made one day
that set me on
this path I tread ?

Is it you that whispers
might have beens
do you miss the chances
you didn't take either ?

And is it lonely
where you are
under the ground
and cold cold stars ?

Was it you who urged me
to just let go
Your unseen voice
enticing me along......

While I'd flirt with
suicide at dusk
As shadows chased
the dwindling sun ?

Did you know I was empty
cold and numb
but my real life
had only just begun ?

Did it seem to you
as you watched through the veil
that my life too
was bound to fail ?

You could not know
how different we are
For here I am anchored
by more than my heart .

When dreams fail I'll dream anew
Though dark moods stalk me
I still escape
but is it your ghost I cannot shake?

Is it you who reminds me
late at night
of all I am
and still just might be?

And just why is it
you chose to haunt me
so I don't make the same
mistakes that you did ?

Did you make peace
with the life you led
or do you hang on the moon
of pale regret.........?
