Ghost Chair

Dahlia

Please move through me

I need to feel your energy

Existing between realities

Needing you to notice me

I'm trying to outlive my memories



I sometimes push through the ramparts with anger and pain

I want you to see me and still want to stay

Be firm with your guidance but don't talk down to me

I can take what you're giving when it's given for free

I don't need to be told that I need to be calm

I've been hearing that voice since I was six years old

I am strong, I am present, I am gifted and sane

I am trying to live on a much higher plane



When you come home I'll be there waiting

I'll be waiting there, sitting in my favorite chair



Please honor me

By living your life passionately

Remember me on all-hollows eve

Light a candle with tangerines



Know that I am wearing my favorite clothes

Know that I am smiling; know that you're not alone

Hear whispering to you as you go to sleep

Feel me stroking back your hair when you have bad dreams

Forget the times when you felt bad I didn't understand

Forget the things we said when we were angry or mad

Know that I am proud of you, know that I loved

Every single thing about you you think is all-wrong

You are strong, you are patient, you're funny and bright

Get through this loneliness by living your life



But know and forever that I listen

Know that I waited for you

I'll be there waiting

I'll be there waiting

I'll be there waiting

I'll be there waiting
