Phantoms

Phantoms haunt my dreams,
They do not leave when I'm awake.
They always walk beside me,
But leave no footprints in their wake.

Past

Skeletons stir in the closet,
A ghost lurks in the dark.
My body exposing the soul,
Like a tree shedding its bark.

Transform

Gay smiles to bitter laughter
Blue moods which remain after
