Ghost

Like my words, I wonder if anyone truly sees me  
Or is it simply my fate to be ...  
Invisible to everyone, as if erased  
They have tears in their eyes, they can't explain  
That I'm not with them, but I continue to live  
I don't know what will be there later, in the other world  
Someone went to heaven, and someone went to hell,  
and I was left behind  
Many more have passed and I am still not in the clouds  
What happened, I do not know why I am lost  

I do not want to look at their tears  
I want to be a guardian angel for them  
Once the stars converged like this  
And while I am captivated by mirrors  
 
I wander like a ghost, I do not cast a shadow  
I find myself there in reflection day after day  
I knock on the back of the mirror  
No one hears - I am in the arms of darkness  
Visible to creatures, but not by people  
I am stuck between worlds  
 
Tears cried out in the Dead sea  
But still no sign of me, I can not show  
that I am here - that I am near, in Limbo  
Prisoner through the looking glass, what an obsession  
They do not see me, but only their own reflection  
And here it is only the inhabitants of oblivion  
Ugly creatures, entities, ghosts  
Time passed, the imaginary pain dulled,  
because they prayed and once someone answered  
They only suffer the need to continue to live  
only somehow it hurts me to see it  
How can I break the mirror?
