How to hold a ghosts hand

Okay a couple of things at first. Great job with the spelling of fuelled. It will definitely throw a lot of people off. Very tricky and clever. And in the second stanza second line, I don't think "a" needs to be there.

Interesting write overall to me and well done with the prompt. I really like what you turned this into. You spun it around it seems. Usually the ghost comes out after dark or a tragedy happens and haunts the next "person in line" so to speak. Clever play on the word wasted and intoxication. Love it. There is so much sadness here from the ghosts side. It seems like you have "died" in your youth and the "ghost" of the past came back at the wrong time. Because now they see how bad it has gotten. It seems like you are haunting the ghost in a way. Clever play on irony. Well done. Very impressed
