Almost Like You're Dead

By Shericka Murphy

You know I can see your body just as plain

I can touch it and feel it too

I can watch it walk right out of the door

And that's all it will ever do

And the way you walk around the house at times

It gives me this eerie sensation

And the way you look at me in the face

Makes me yield and fight the temptation

And the way you sleep next to me at night

Makes the sheets feel so bitterly cold

And the youth of your face so close to mine

Has morphed into something so old

And the days and days were here together

You never speak a word

You just sit and stare and make no sounds

Just whispers that I have heard

And I close my eyes....You disappear

I open them....You aren't there

When you sleep I swear I can't even hear you breathing

And It gives me quite a scare

I swear the way these times have been lately

All thoughts of you have vanished from my head

Sometimes I think your haunting me...

Because it's almost like you're dead....
