271. Thoughts Of A Lonely Ghost

I woke up from what I thought to be reality,

but then realized it was merely a dream.

What I thought I knew, I never had.

And what I thought I’d always seen,

they were someone else’s forgotten memories,

in which they drove me mad.

All of these things, I’d never done.

And all of these people, I shouldn’t know.

This wasn’t my life. I was already gone.

Simply an afterthought, 

a lonely ghost.

But what was I doing here?

My life should’ve ended by now,

and I could finally move on.

So, what happened? And how?

Was I given a second chance,

or were my last moments already near?

My mind couldn’t take anymore.

I was losing what little sanity I had left.

I wanted to jump ship, and sink to the ocean floor.

That would’ve been my best bet.

Unfortunately, I had unfinished business.

I needed answers. I needed to know.

I needed to know what happened before I let go.

And so I remained a lonely ghost,

until I found out how it was I died.

Tears then streamed down my ghostly eyes,

for I feared I would never know,

and I never would.
