    Default A child a ghost

    Your glass features would shine
    In the morning sun
    Everyone would surround
    The devoted one
    They all took for granted
    Your unequivocal faithfulness
    That I in my weakness
    Failed to possess

    Your heroic vitriol
    Of my bitter indifference
    And your condemnation of my being
    Was Of such overwhelming significance
    Your word used to beat me
    I submit to your desire
    And I began to preach
    The malignant words of a liar

    I haven't seen you in. A while
    Not since I Loved you most
    Back when I was the child
    and you were the ghost

    Oh your crown began to slip
    There were others just like you
    Who's dependable affection
    Could serve them just as true
    Your willing little face
    Now etched with tears
    And time was so suddenly swallowed
    And you lost all those years

    You used to be so tall
    But you soon fell from the stilts
    Now you have shrunk
    And are consumed by guilt
    But you've not lost that obeying smile
    Though the rest went without a trace
    You were nothing if not compliant
    Yet easily replaced

    I haven't seen you in. A while
    Not since I Loved you most
    Back when I was the child
    and you were the ghost

    Im back in the shadows again
    I haven't been here since we were children
    Where your obedient path is well trodden
    And you are embraced by friends
    The symmetrical buddies
    Oh how you laugh so loud
    Pointing at the isolated corner
    Where there were dark clouds crowd

    And here I sit and ponder
    As the rain falls in
    Another chance I squander
    And the fears begin to sting
    And with sudden shock and horror
    As one does in splendid realisation
    That was once so detestable
    Is now my salvation



    Any opinions would appreciated
