Ghost's Cry

There is a girl that comes here everyday.
Always staring at the horizon.
As if to be waiting for someone.
With faded eyes
and a look of lonliness
tears form.
They fall upon her cheek
as rain fills the sky.
She does not move or speak.
Still and quiet.
There alone in the darkness she stays.
Lifeless.
Waiting there.
Without a word.
Just standing.
Silently crying.
As she looks out to the horizon
For eternity she waits
'Til the day she finds what she is looking for.
When she has no more need to cry
and her smile returns,
But until that day comes, she is Ghost's Cry.
