Neon Ghosts

Streetlights paint the empty pavement,

Silver echoes after rain.

Every corner holds a memory,

None of them can pull me back again.

Footsteps meet familiar places,

But the weight has disappeared.

Only quiet conversations

With the person I was here.

The city keeps the stories,

Even when they've faded thin.

Some reflections stay forever,

Only changing where they've been.

We're only neon ghosts tonight,

Glowing softly in the fading light.

Every dream we left behind Still draws constellations in my mind.

I don't chase the past anymore,

I just thank it as it disappears.

Neon ghosts keep lighting roads Long after they leave here.

Every window shows tomorrow,

Not the shadows I once knew.

Every mile becomes another

Shade of something breaking through.

What I carried now feels lighter,

Like the morning in my hands.

Every ending built a bridge Toward the place where I now stand.

Nothing truly disappears, It just learns another shape.

Every chapter leaves its color

Long after we escape.

If tomorrow calls my name,

I'll answer without looking back.

Every goodbye drew the map That led me down a different path.

The silence doesn't feel so empty,

Now it sounds like open skies.

Even fading lights can guide you When you learn to trust your

eyes.

We're only neon ghosts tonight,

Turning darkness into quiet light.

Every memory has a place,

Every scar becomes a trace.

Now the future feels awake,

Brighter with each step I take.

Neon ghosts no longer haunt— They simply help me find my way.

The lights grow smaller...

The road keeps going.

So do I.
