Ghost Of A Girl

I hear her sometimes,

Crying out at night.

Her pale face lit by the moon's light.

Tears streak her rosy cheeks,

She's trying to be quiet.

"They can hear me breathing"

Her dark eyes open wide,

And she starts screaming

Then she vanishes,

As though she never was.

They caught her,

They beat her,

Drugged her.

I know this because,

She is the ghost

Of the girl I was.
