(Back to it's original title) Ghost

Where have you gone?  
It's been so long.  
I'm living with your ghost these days,
 the shadows of the past are starting to fade.  

The whispers are getting quieter as night bleeds clumsily to a new day.  
Sweet words and memories collecting dust, on shelves of paper flowers,
marbles and bad luck.

I probe myself for comfort and I remember the look that was once inside your eyes.  
The only sound to pierce the silence are my collective sighs.  

You were here once, I remembered it today.  
I'm starting to forget it all, as well as to feel anything today.  
Please tell me where you've gone my love, you've been away so long.
Have you always been a ghost?  
It's been so long I’ve forgot.
