The Phantom

~A Ponygirl Design~

Theres a phantom here that haunts me,

in the shadows or in the light of day.

Can't run can't hide it finds me,

oh why won't it just go away.

The moment I smile its there waiting,

leaving tears to course down my cheeks.

Can't sleep can't eat it doesn't matter,

its only my fear it seeks.

The phantom a constant companion,

eating at my heart everyday.

Can't think can't cope i'm alone here,

oh please won't you just go away.

This rubbish came from the fact that my Aunt who had a stroke last Nov. gave me a birthday card on Dec.29th which is my birthday, and she penned a little note to it telling me to keep it incase she wasn't around for my next one.Well she has since had another massive stroke and isn't doing well.So that little note is haunting me, I dwell on it asking myself if the card is all I will have by this Dec. 29th.I know I shouldn't dwell on it but can't help myself.
