A Ghost of A Goodbye

Turning a new leaf
Against the cheat
And all thats left
Is the empty seat

Emerald merges to ochre
Soft, sweet and now crumbled
The past slipping through my fingers
Like the sand that in time fumbled.

Down, down it goes
The last leaf falls
Bare and numb
The vulture crawls

Nothing left to do
Nothing left to say
But a small gesture
Turns this bright day to gray

Walking up the stony path
The steps are heavy and slow
Do I want to do this
I really don't know

Hurt and Joy
Lively and Numb
Two worlds, two options
what shall become

Of this; letting go
transparent and silohetted
are the emotions that are guarded
Everything inside is hardened.

One empty seat.
That is all that is left.
No realisation.
That it wasn't just a test

One empty seat
As transparent as the sky.
No realisation.
That it is a ghost of a goodbye.

It all started with do you remember...
