Ghost of a Memory

​

I can't count all the lonely days
I spent thinking of you,
all the cold and empty nights
I spent dreaming of you.

 

My life goes on aimlessly,
and I don't know why.

 

I gave you all I had to give,
but you weren't satisfied.
I gave you my heart,
and, as you left,
you walked all over it.

 

Sometimes I almost believe
life holds a deeper meaning,
and I wonder at the purpose
of this desolation I feel.

 

Sad reminders come to haunt me
in places we once went together.

I can't forget you, 'though I've tried
so long and so hard
to exorcise this ghost of a memory
of you and yesterday.
