Holding onto a Ghost

by Nicole M. - Gemini

You can't hold on to a ghost
And that's all this is
Nothing in the physical world
But a mear shadow
Of what used to be.
The memory
Is all that still remains
It just slips through your fingers
All this transdental air
The tighter your fist squeeze
The faster this piece of happiness
Slips away
It can never be the same
