Chasing Ghosts Poem by Charlie Parant

Chasing Ghosts

Rating: 4.8


just woke up one morning
summer turned to early fall
found you’d left without a warning
you were gone and that was all

and it hit me from the blue
there was nothing I could say
there were things I never know
things that made you go away

you were willing to take chances
there was nothing I could do
you had questions without answers
and all those things I never knew

I felt the changing seasons
tried to call you on the phone
tried to understand your reasons
only wish that I had known

heard you moved out to the west
you were living on the coast
I went out to try to find you
ended up just chasing ghosts

I had no way of knowing
you had ghosts there of your own
and those feeling just kept growing
only wish that I had known

I guess you had your reasons
and those reasons mattered most
to go after your own demons
ended up just chasing ghosts

This reminds me of something I wrote about two years ago.Mind if I send it to you? See what you think, if you agree that the theme is very similar.
