Ghost

saw you tromping across the barren street
pale, lost, swollen eyed
a once loved vision; now a sobering sigh
where have all the flowers in your face gone

you never saw me, and I dare not tell you:
I still miss your voice, I barely taste water
without remembering a kiss from your lips -
but your glow is dull, sallow, and full of crime

where have your nights been taking you
trapped in the arms of a selfish lover
when your nights fused to mine,
so terribly joyful, a very different man


Can I ask - what has happened to you?
