The Cadence of Ghosts

The Former

I remember laying with that cotton quilt

Comfortable yet afraid

Of the visions my mind had built

I remember sitting on that foam bed

Head in my hands

Hoping these times would never end

I remember standing in that blue room

These walls that surround me

Built the me that you knew

I remember laying with you as I do now

Uncomfortable yet lazy

As I only live in the now

I remember sitting with you at the foot

Crying my eyes out

Because you just couldn't do it

I remember standing at the sliding door

Watching in anticipation

Because I knew there would be more
