Spectre of Me

Hark… hark… hear my voice, a mere leftover refrain
Never can you see me, I’ve no form left to gain 
Look up… look up… and miss me, resound with the air 
Don’t take my loss for granted, only spells despair 

Grief… grief… counts for nothing, on the flip side of love 
Pinpointing its vector, may bring hope from above 
Crunch… crunch… the numbers, add symbols in lower case
Headstones of algebra, surround my resting place 

Wait… wait… I hear cries, emanating at my grave 
Broken hearted loved ones, so many tears they gave 
Listen.. listen… up, your mourning’s setting me free 
This life snuffed out, echoes down through eternity 

Hush… hush… my darling, pillows muffle as you sleep 
Pull tight the sheets and love me, inside dreams so deep
