Silence once my company, Cacophony with mind split in three. Chattering away, whispers of evil And yet my friend; stability, upheaval.
Ghosts arms hug, never enough But there, lingering, never leaving. Cries, stroking my hair, Or just imagining his hand there?
My imaginary ghost, my fear I hold you, sickness, so dear. But dark, enclosed, end if I let live Could not die with merely a sigh, A meaning to life I had to give.
Glimpsed of all I wished I had, In form what my delusions meant. To grasp solid uncertainty, blessed hell; Could I with phantoms be content?
To taste and to believe in real, I could, Missing the voices with now eerie hush. Silent, I have no fallback, no last resort A mere stumble, my fragile frame crush.
Silence where they once spoke, Guided, loved, entertained, all gone. To discover the real which they did cover Was not worth battling the stranger, lover.
I should only be so content, To have real and true, not contrived Not imagined, not a reaction to decay And still somehow I wish I could send the reality far away.
And hug again my pillow, my ghost Tell myself what I need to hear, believe And believe it, for once, for only Do the imagined I think cannot deceive.
No company could I keep such as myself With abandon abound, faces all around, And still I long to hear them all, The voices of my childhood.
