Message For A Ghost

I’m tired in my bones,
I’m tired in my mind,
My soul is calling out,
Petitioning our ties that bind.

You promised you’d always be here,
Keeping my corner bright,
I think I’ve lost my way,
For I can no longer see the light.

Something has to give,
Or something’s going to break,
I’ve had about all I can handle,
How much more must I take?

I’m reaching out across the distance,
Asking for you to take my hand,
I need someone who’ll listen,
I need- the one who’ll understand.

Don’t leave me on my own,
With just the voices in my head,
The insomnia is rampant,
And my eyes are rimmed in red.

I just keep saying it doesn’t matter,
You know better- if you’re out there,
I can’t talk about what’s wrong,
But I need you here, if you still care.
