POEM OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~
Ghosts
There are ghosts in your face
of the people that left you behind
the memories that shaped all your thoughts
the directions of the steps that you take.
There are ghosts that guide you
there are ghosts you cannot let go.
There are ghosts in your future
and there are ghosts you dont know.
There are ghosts in your eyes
of the people that were.
of the babies you wanted
but could not bear
There are ghosts of past lovers leaving their scars
there are ghosts of your memories under the stars
Wherever we walk
wherever we roam
There are ghosts, out there waiting
To carry us home
