Tomorrow's Ghost

Today you were my hearth
A shadow burnt in time
The pulse of opaque skin
Enveloped in mine

Today you were my soul
The fool I longed to find
A unison of seed and soil
Mirror of my mind

Tommorow you're my ghost
Haunting through blue veins
Searing scars of memories
Loveless dose of pain
