The Well Timed Ghost

Not about what you think it is.

If you can see the hidden ghost,

And ask it for advice.

I’m sure it’d say what you’d want to hear,

You won’t even have to ask twice.

 

If you can take what isn’t yours,

And still not seem to care,

Then what’s to say I left it there,

I’ve only come to share.

 

And if you’re the only reason,

 For the poison in my veins,

I put it there, I didn’t care.

Just tighten up your reigns.

 

But what if one day I break free,

And kill you in my mind,

I’ve saved the date, it’s coming soon,

And you’ll be left behind.

 

What’s to say I won’t see you again,

And still I won’t think twice,

You’re just a tragic memory,

That gave the worst advice.

Author's Note

Random write in the style of one of my favorite songs. But side note I'm very curious to see what you think it's about. And overall how you feel of course.

Nice, nice, NOICE! xD

It has a flow and that flow is unbelievably blunt and it makes this day a lot better. A memory of a memory...

"What’s to say I won’t see you again,

And still I won’t think twice,

That gave the worst advice."

That's the best advice you've given me. :D

This is very interesting and I liked the flow of the words. Never stop writing

I like the flow of this poem. The opening was very good. You can improve on your ending though. I liked this idea and the title "The Well Timed Ghost" seems perfectly well to me. Keep writing friend.
