The Phantom I Keep

From my favorite song

You came forth,

My dreams turned dark

All I thought was true

You made them seem false.

I bear no hatred against you

My heart bleeds out,

My soul wants freedom

But I’m too entangled to you

All I see now is a mirage.

Once I called you my oasis

Now that song fills me with tears,

Lonely minds have a bond

Why is my heart without you

The answer is but a mystery.

If my tongue could wish you back

I would do so in a heartbeat,

Strings of my heart still belong to you

So where else do I find another

I am but a lost heart.

So many songs

So many ways to bleed,

But I still bleed for you

Why does this hurt so

I still have a lot of ink for you.

This is my first and last

But whatever you find, keep it

I may be your past

But you were my forever

I’m still a man lost in his muse.
