Ghosts

I have walked this road alone,
Too many times,
Accompanied by endless streams of ghosts,
That roam and call out to me,
Distracting me from the path,
That leads to what I know,
To be home,
And I try to forget them,
But they cling to me and cry,
The silent tears that fall unnoticed,
In the day time,
Yet the ones that burn me,
And my wide awake consciousness at night.
