I Thought I Saw A Ghost, But It Was Only My Reflection

I all but want to change myself
Working my way from the outside

I'll absorb my heat from anywhere
But it never makes a fire

I wish to throw these thoughts away
That work to swallow me whole

But they are ghost
Now in my head
And have become a part of me

One day I will lose myself
And reopen all my scars

Made by the ghosts who chip me piece by piece
I'll drain them from my arms

On to the pavement drop by drop
And watch them lose their form
