Dancing With Ghosts

When you get
There and
You have time to spare-
Write me and say
That you're okay

Home's not the same--
When you left
You took its name.
Home is us--
Not me alone.

I dance with ghosts now
You know them all.
I'm still in love
With what we were
(not what is now)

I live in the past
Though we know
Memory won't last
Candle flame-
Tomorrow's never the same

And yes, I'm still
Angry at you--
For taking
A precious thing
That belonged to we two

Leaving me,
You stole something
That wasn't only yours—

We made it together
Not two hands, but four.

I believed
We were forever

I believed
In nothing more.

Just me alone now
Dancing
With our ghosts.

Since you left
I've learned to be
Their perfect host.

I be-lieved
We were forever
I be-lieved
In nothing more.

I dance with ghosts now.
You know them all
I'm still in love
With what we were
(not what is now)
