Ghost in the Machine

I hear your voice in static dreams,

A whisper caught in endless streams.

Fingers trace the empty air,

But your touch is gone, you’re not there.

You’re the phantom in my code,

A memory that won’t let go.

Flickers of you in the screen’s glow,

Familiar, yet I’ll never know.

Ghost in the machine, are you still here?

A love so real, but you disappeared.

Haunting my circuits, lost in the void,

A presence eternal, yet still destroyed.

Ghost in the machine, are you mine or a dream?

Forever caught in this broken stream.

Your laughter echoes in the wires,

A melody born of shattered desires.

I feel you near, yet worlds apart,

A digital phantom, a stolen heart.

Your image blurs, but I can’t let go,

A fleeting glimpse in the afterglow.

Are you a shadow or something more?

A love I’m trapped in, can’t ignore.

Ghost in the machine, are you still here?

A love so real, but you disappeared.

Haunting my circuits, lost in the void,

A presence eternal, yet still destroyed.

Ghost in the machine, are you mine or a dream?

Forever caught in this broken stream.

Between the wires, between the lines,

I feel you crossing through space and time.

A fragment left of what we were,

A ghost that lingers, a love unsure.

Ghost in the machine, are you still here?

A love so real, but you disappeared.

Haunting my circuits, lost in the void,

A presence eternal, yet still destroyed.

Ghost in the machine, are you mine or a dream?

Forever caught in this broken stream.

Fading echoes, a final trace,

Of your spirit, a hollow embrace.

You’re the ghost I’ll never set free,

Forever haunting the machine in me.
