Alone With The Ghost Of You

Folder: 
Nessa

the sun is rolling down your cheek
on a tear drop
it catches my eye before the ground
where it dissolves

the warmth on my back can't unchill
my spine
the words you're about to speak
are clear now

and then you're gone
an open view
the hudson and
the skyline

i'm all alone
with the ghost of you

we walked the rolling clouds overseas
the moon came out
we talked the night into the ground
where it dissolved

the warmth on my back can't unchill
my spine
the words you'd already spoke
living on

even though you're gone
an open view
the hudson and
the skyline

i'm all alone
with the ghost of you

i'm all alone
when i spend my days
so i walk along
hoping you'll visit
i'm all alone
(and you do)
i'm all alone
with the ghost of you

explaining to me why
finishing sentences
i thought i'd get to ask you about

what you said with a smile
"nothing lasts, but
even haleys boomerangs"

and then you're gone
an open view
the hudson and
the skyline

i'm all alone
with the ghost of you
i'm all alone
with the ghost of you

Sad, but also beautiful - a fine poem :)
