her ghost

i see her in the eyes of every person  
i hear her words as i sleep  
i feel her when i am alone... yet shes not there  
i lay in my bed and close my eyes, listening to her  
when i open my eyes, i see the emptiness of my ceiling  
i reach for someone who is not there  
and i feel the chill of my lost heart  
my tears go unseen because they were all shed for her  
i can hear her last words repeat in my mind and they haunt me  
why cant i let her rest in peace, why must my heart ache  
she was all i had left, so why cant i let her be free  
yet i see the ceiling and its almost like looking at me  
empty and lost with no direction to go  
and every day goes by as if she has never left me  
yet i keep saying i want her to free herself from me  
i keep saying it because i know the one day  
i will see her and never leave her side for eternity  
but no matter how much i say it it ends the same  
she still haunts me...
