The Blood & The Bones

You were here
You were gone
Your ghost has come
To share my home
He does not speak
But I see him there
The shadow man
I feel him stare
I sit with him
I say your name
His mouth is gone
His eyes show pain
He is the darkness
You left with me
A constant reminder
Of my deficiencies
I tell him things
I’d share with you
If only you’d listen
If only you knew
I’d give everything
to hear you say
The word regret
or just my name
Were you scared?
I’ll never know
But I feel it now
that you let go
Long before
you were gone
I gave up on heaven
Made hell my home
And floated there
In the space between
Forever love
And temporary
Just like your ghost
That will not go
But isn’t here
But isn’t gone
I’ll let him stay
If it means
A part of you
Remains with me
