Alone Now And Then

  This is about the difference between being lonely as a human and as a ghost.

Alone Now And Then

Conspiratorial whispers
of the winds and the rain
And you're alone again
None but the company of ghosts now
can share in your pain
Our time is past
and now we just pass time
We watch our friends
and family die
You can't see us
but we see you
We only wish to speak with you
Merely shadows
of what used to be
Mirror images
dark as peat
You think you're lonely now
trapped inside your cage of flesh/
Wait until you've spent a hundred years
inside the face of death
Please enjoy life while you have it
