ghost

 

from a time when I was young

I had recognized my sins

so I cursed the gods above

for giving life to thieves

how could you let me be a witness

to many a terrible things

I stood there as a mirror

to those who broke my peace

 

“Welcome to Earth”

where the spirit cannot speak

They can only channel intuition

through those whose minds are clean

“A virgin! A virgin!”

excitedly, they screamed

though she knew that they were wrong

she could not come to speak

 

I lay each night, wondering

what a lonely life, to lead

so I snuck into his bedroom

for a heart to hold my tears

and here lies my mistake

for being young and unafraid

he took my virgin heart

and tore it up to shreds

 

they could not hear my scream

so I buried it in smiles

burdened by the secret

in my own mystery, I died
