Ghosts of Your Light

Silent shadows, whispering your name,

Echoes of a love that still remains.

Thought your light was here to save me,

Drawn like moths to a flickering flame.

Basking in your warm embrace,

Bathe in your internal glow,

Knowing no love could ever show

More brightness than your face.

But the dream dissolves, fades away,

You're just a ghost from yesterday.

Still your scent clings to my skin,

Lost in memories I can't begin.

Your love was honey, sweet and bright,

Like maple sun and dawn's first light.

Now in this cold, dark night,

Craving your warmth, a fading sight.

My dark angel, take me high,

Lift me from this aching sky.

Your flame once kept me alive,

Now I burn, I cannot survive.

Demons dance in shadows deep,

Haunting me, they never sleep.

Whispered lies and silent screams,

Lost in this broken dream.

Praying to the dark to take,

All this pain, this heartache.

But love's a flame I can't contain,

Burns inside, sustains my pain.

Once loved, your ghost remains,

In every breath, it sustains.

Till I find a spark anew,

I'll keep loving shadows of you.
