Phantoms

Originally Written November 24, 2008

**Written about the ups and downs of depression.



Conversations dwindled to none.

I secretly hope you've forgotten me.

Knowing it can never be that easy,

When everyday, you always come to me.


Like a phantom I can't seem to erase.

A haunting, never ceasing to abate.

You're like a double shadow,

I thought I had let pass.

Yet here you are from my darker days:

You've come to last.


Foolish to say if ever these

demons shall vanquish.

As I wish of that normal life,

glimpsed only in dreams.


Though like a phantom I can't seem to erase.

You've been haunting: ceasing to abate.

This seamless double shadow,

Who lurks in every crevice.


In these darker days, I swear I shall try.

To keep these phantoms at bay,

On this forever roller coaster ride.
