Ghost
Theres a girl.
A girl you know.
But now she's just a ghost.
A ghost to you.
__
Everywhere you look.
Everything reminds you of her.
A constant reminder of what she used to be.
__
She's not that girl anymore. She's not happy go-lucky.
She's an empty shell of her old life.
She was torn apart by this town, by you.
And you just can't forget.
__
Forget her smile, which you see so rarely now.
They way she laughed.
How her nosed crinkled when she did.
That's all a memory now.
__
She used to be happy.
She used to have fun.
She loved hanging out with people.
What happened to her?
__
People happened.
People got to her. She couldn't take it.
Everyone was pulling her in every direction.
She couldn't take the stress.
__
The stress of making people happy.
When she couldn't be happy herself.
The stress of trying to do everything at once.
Just the over whelming stress of life.
__
You miss that girl.
You long for another chance, to make it better.
But the scary thing is.
That girl is me.
A girl you know.
But now she's just a ghost.
A ghost to you.
