Dancing With Your Ghost
(⚠️Trigger Warning: Talks and Mentions of Death -
•

•
Billie:
"How..."
•
•
The Day has come as everyone gather,
•
•
As if it was once again Thanksgiving Supper.
•
•
Family, Friends; all of our loved ones,
•
•
Gathered in one place as if it was Prom Dance.
•
•
But instead of joy, happiness, and glee,
•
•
There was no laughter, but sounds of plea.
•
•
Cries, Why's, and tears flow freely,
•
•
As the flashback of the past play in memory.
•
•
Billie:
"Why..."
•
•
Among the sea of people dressed in white,
•
•
Stood out a color, a drop of sunshine.
•
•
But, there was no sunshine.
•
•
For among all of the hearts that have gathered,
•
•
Hers was the one that greatly shattered.

•
•
Billie:
"Why did you..."
•
•
Right infront of her, lays in his crib,
•
•
Unmoving, silent, as if he's asleep.
•
•
But reality cannot be ignored,
•
•
Forever in his coffin, her best friend is stored.
•
•
Billie: (*in tears*)
"Why? Why? How did this happen? You said we'll be together. You and I, best friends forever."
•
•
"Why did you leave? Out of nowhere, you just left me."
•
•
(*cries louder*)
"Ace, get up! Wake up! You can't leave me!"
(*cries louder*)
"Ace, get up! Wake up! You can't leave
(Photo not mine.)
•
•
(*fades into a whisper*)
"You\-You can't...."

•
•
•
As seconds turn into hours,
•
•
And hours turn into days.
•
•
His grave was always full of flowers,
•
•
But the joy in Billie's eyes continued to fade.
•
•
Days turned into months,
•
•
Billie remained distant towards everyone.
•
•
How is she to heal,
•
•
A gaping wound nothing can seal.
•
•
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
•
•
School came,
•
•
But it would never be the same.
•
•
No one to keep you company,
•
•
No matter how nice they can be.
•
•
No one to make you smile like before,
•
•
Because he's gone and all left is a gaping hole.
•
•
How could you leave just like that?
•
•
I waited, alone I sat.
•
•
What am I to wait now?
•
•
All this pain in need of you, but how?
•
•
Cruel life must be,
•
•
Daily reminders of what we used to be.
•
•
I've fallen down this ditch,
•
•
Cold, isolated, and black pitch.
•
•
Ace... Why-
•
•
Come back and tell me I'm ugly when I cry.
•
•
Life seems so lifeless now,
•
•
A smile untrue plastered on my mouth.
•
•
What should I do next?
•
•
What should I choose as my next step?
•
•
I feel so lost as though I'm a puppy,
•
•
Waiting for my owner, 'Please come home early'
•
•
Wagging my tail in anticipation,
•
•
Not knowing that you're forever gone.
•
•
It's been months since you passed,
•
•
These questions will forever last.
•
•
As I kneel to sit by you,
•
•
I stare at the stone, lit by the sunset's hue.
•
•
The dozen flowers hinting wilt,
•
•
I began to clean the rubbish and filth.
•
•
As I move with ease,
•
•
For I've done this for weeks,
•
•
I still cannot ignore the stinging of my eyes,
•
•
Nor ignore the painful squeeze, in my heart lies.
•
•
Alas, I've hit my low
•
•
Depression finally swallowing me whole.
