"Ghost"

"Ghost"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

Why do I feel like when I turn

I might not see your face

Not remember that smile

And all that is left are the lies.

II

Why do I feel that when I hold you

you slip past my grasp

going straight for the things you want

and not stopping for what you might have lost.

III

Why do I turn and hope

that I will see that person you once were

And not hear your words

but feel your once beating heart.
