the ghost of you

the light is gone, a shadow cast,
a person built, but not to last,
an arch will be the death of you,
your hollow eyes are the only view,
a curve that ends and begins again,
a ghost that haunts the dreams of men,
i hear you calling in the night,
your voice brings memories of the fight,
i try to think of other things,
but succumb to the sorrow that joy brings,
i wait and wait and wait in vain,
try to numb the endless pain,
nothing works, i cant see through,
the memory and the ghost of you.
