the floor boards creek as if wheighed by footsteps,
no one is around and it seems to be,
well as unreasonable as it may sound out loud,
a ghost has been haunting me.
i cover my ears with my pillow,
hoping that it might go away.
but it is unmoved and does not flinch,
it doesn't even stray in the slightest bit.
i keep my hands pressed against my ears,
wondering what it is i should do.
then something clicks, it is not what should be done,
It is the things i have not.
All the times and chances, all rusted away
from missed opportunities, and things i couldn't say.
now i am a man, or so my title says,
and i will never know the things i could have had.
I am forever haunted.
