The Ghost of Regret

It’s a trial for me to stand
I had many half-hearted plans
Sitting comfortably in the creases of my mind
I wrote them down on my left arm
Knowing ink wouldn’t cause my flesh harm
But my natural sweat had made the notes hard to find
I forgot them in the nick of time
It was as if God wrote a sign
That read: “Don’t waste your words writing to ghosts.”
This spirit lived on the outside
In a truck used for hayrides
It lost me much farther and faster than most
On the day the notes left my head
I spent hours trapped in bed
Watching out the window for a misty shape in the rain
In the evening, I ate dinner
Didn’t plan to be thinner
For a phantom truck-rider into causing pain
Oh I say that I’ll move on
And I’ll bid the dead so long
Their time-frozen imprints mean nothing to me
But the truth is much harder
Like when sons forgive fathers
The past is a chain without a key to set you free
