The ghost of you

An empty glass of vodka Here in this dark cold room I slowly sat down And saw you there Staring at me How long where you there? ¨Hi¨ I muttered under my breath I guess you can´t barely hear it, I see that you decided to finally visit me What took you so long? I wasn´t expecting to see you Since the day you’ve been gone I know it was already a long time And I'm still not fine See this room? Like this big empty room My heart is all empty inside Cold and sad I can still hear your voice in every Corner of this room Nothing has changed So as my love to you But I long for you more everyday Every night I lie down Wishing it was next to you Please hug me tight Like you used to do I lied when I said I ´ll be fine But you see that I am not You are bad For taking my heart with you The day you left I hate you for that I am longing for you How can I move on Please tell me what to do Where should I go? When you are my home And my haven But now I am lost I don't know where to go I don't know how to start I can’t hold back my tears inside He stood up With a sad look In his eyes I moved slowly Close to him I wanted to ease His pain I was close enough to hug him I hugged him so tight That as I opened my eyes He slowly faded away I broke down in tears and cried But not even that Can make him come back I knew this but I tried Now I can sleep again for I know That in my slumber This phantom of you will come back As I lose grip of the reality So as my sanity For I can no longer Have you close to me As you no longer exist A truth that I refuse to see

Oh friend, why are you doing this to me? How identified I feel with all your words, sometimes I feel empty, asking for explanations to the life of why I took the only being that really loved me in this world: my father. It is difficult because I am 25 years old without my father and even so, we never forget our loved ones, we feel their smell, their passage through the house, we feel their presence and that hurts. I understand you.

@erinmiles I see and now I remember the word I was looking for. It is very moving what you wrote.
