Ghost

[Echo66]

More invisible as the weeks go by
I make less impression each day
my voice becoming fainter as I speak
my presence slowly fading away

Trying to reach out but no one to hear
can't make myself understood or heard
I wonder sometimes if I'm really present
or just a figment of imagination, not clear

The words I say make less and less sense
my head is confusion and pain
thoughts swirling round like a carousel
I feel there's nothing left to gain

I can no longer help those I care for
can't even help myself now
too late for redemption, a miracle is needed
but will it come in time, and how?

If I just disappear would anyone care
would it even be noticed, I doubt
a memory fading, fleeting, now gone
the Ghost of a person not there
