Your Own Ghosts

In a few words

You make an enemy

No words

Take back a taunt

 

Hate starts or ends

With a kiss

All mistakes

Start with a want

 

No friendship

Survives a lie

No heart

Survives desire

 

No path

Is safe

All hope

Is pain

 

The hope

That waxes

Will always

Wane

 

Each day starts

With a dream

Forgotten

 

Each love ends

With a heart

Rotten

 

Every mistake

Rides your back

No chance skipped

Ever comes back

 

Your own ghosts

Will dig your grave

 

How do you die

When you never lived

How do you live

When you've already died
