The Haunting of a Memory

You are the ghost from my past
Who haunts me in my waking slumber.
You are the ghost from my past
Who consumes my dreams and devours my soul.
You are the ghost from my past
Whose words still whisper in my ears.
You are the ghost from my past
Whose love I once did know.

You are the Ghost from my past,
Whom I try to avoid.
You are the Ghost from my past,
Who stole my heart and killed my soul.
You are the Ghost from my past,
Whose words still whisper to my ears.
You are the Ghost from my past,
Whose memory still fills the void between my ears.

You are the ghost from my past,
Whose memory I must let go
You are the ghost from my past,
Whose’ sent I must forgo.
You are the ghost from my past,
I must cleanly erase.
Lit cigarette,
Sweet dreams,
And a beautiful history
Soon to be erased.
