“Lingering Ghost”

Never dreamed you could feel such pain,
Some times you think you should slit your vein.
Leave the world behind, would that be such a crime?
Follow the light to a place so sublime.
Don’t take their shit anymore,
The thought seems to implore

Memories linger like a ghost.
You ask yourself why, they riposte.
Sun has set on the coast.

You thought you would never find,
Some one who would be kind.
The world is full of rotten seeds,
Their poison, it fucking bleeds.
It infects everything within reach.
Many young minds it has bleached.

Memories linger like a ghost.
You ask yourself why, they riposte.
Sun is setting on the coast.

Suddenly, a ray of hope,
You approach, keeping yourself tied to the rope,
But soon you will find,
Someone has come along who is kind.
Should you take a chance?
Will you try to advance?

Memories linger like a ghost.
You ask yourself why, they riposte.
Sun is rising on the coast.

Promise you forever,
Wouldn’t hurt you… Never!!
Don't know where we're going,
But, my love will not stop flowing.
This I tell you dear:
Have no fear… Have no fear. . . .

For: April.
