I check in and search for the invisible ghost
Even when I know all there was left is the shadow from the past
A dark room with endless memories
A closet full of reminiscences

I shouted my lungs out in a silent movie because
What am I supposed to say
If you can really hear me

I hear the echo of my heart whenever I looked away
And there is silence
After fading,
You said

Too much silence since that day
Everything else had become just

Too Loud

Voices speaking directly to my ear
Not whispering
Shouting
Yelling
S c r e a m i n g

Of languages I do not recognize
Of words I cannot understand

You are disappearing from me
I am fading from you
I froze up
Decided to cut off this idea and persuade myself
‘I will figure something out later’
But really I had ran out of options
Of how it can possibly be
But maybe I’m just avoiding the reason
Of why I’ve never really tried

Gulps of air from nowhere
Always wakes me up at night
I thought it was my own breathing but maybe
That was the only time when
The invisible ghost came to visit
