Ghost
A sudden seizure sits you upright
Summoning you to awareness
Now you are gripped by fear
At the forms that appear
Through the midnight umbra
Silent and staring
You gather your thoughts
Make sense of it all
This hazy reality
This dread-filled chasm
You scramble for clarity
Evoke rationality
Yet when it is said
That it’s all in your head
It doesn’t explain
The terrible pain
The longing you felt
When they said you were dead.
