Ghost

Sometimes you may catch a fleeting glimpse
Enough to make you momentarily pause
Blink and you'll miss it

Other times a faint voice might manifest
Never loud and often barely discernable
Not recognized unless you know what to listen for

I am here beyond this veil
Watching a world that moves around me unaware
So close but completely out of reach

Present but unable to participate
Surrounded yet entirely alone
Existing but never living

I am here beyond this veil
Hoping that someone will notice me
Desparate for someone to hear me

Nothing more than residue of turbulent memories
The remains of hope that has been obliterated
A remnant of a soul that's been shattered

A ghost
