GHOSTS-REVISED line was missing



GHOSTS  Memories floatiing in cold midnight Hauntings in frenetic flight Visions unyielding and cruel Ghosts of my sins come rip my soul Fragments of heavens bliss lost Shards of hell Rememberings  too painful to tell Empathy’s stain takes hold of me Things I’ve seen and don't want to see Anymore Places my mind has  been Living vicariously through another's pain
Faded in the mix Broken now Was it all in vain Failed dreams are mine I own no love No return for who I was Too late to fix what has been done

Oh bitter taste this life can be.

Love cannot be owned. It is an essence like the ether of the air, it comes, it goes, it is there, it IS. And when it comes we cannot capture it to call our own, it has no tangible shape to grasp, its there and if 'tis true, it stays there with you always, never wanting to be free, happy to be within the one loved, caught yet free. Your plight colours your feelings and rips your heart out with its talons of pain and this we understand, how can one feel gentle beauties hand when all is fire and brimstone and quelling you with its violent power, we understand, we understand and wish it were not so. Here you express your disappointment in life, but life, if it goes on can have a different song, where past is past and now is here, and the Spring brings yet another year and we can celebrate if we will, that you're here still to see the flowers, hear the bees and watch the trees. And smile. Your Annuccia as aye.
