ghost memory

You live in the aches of my heart in my chest you live in my memories and somber recollections

Your name has nearly vanished from the air unspeakable because when I name you it's real
Your silence is a constant vibration in the air a pressure on my shoulders
Today I spoke your name to a friend and that was all I could do
Now you're walking the halls of my heart once again and the words stick to my tongue
Who wants to hear anyway except I need to share you to say YOU LIVED you lived and you were real
Please don't leave me my memory is unreliable and I fear you are crumbling and falling away in the winds of my mind
At least I have you where you wander my heart I have you in the echoes of pain
