Hovering a little
I strained to see
What the crowd was examining
I finally realized what it was
When I saw my girlfriend
Standing in black
With tears rolling down her face
I had gone
My job had finally gotten the best of me
It's what I get
For being a cop
But it's not what
She should get
She had no one left
No one to help her
As they lowered my body into the ground
She sobbed harder and harder
With no one around to hold her
I glided toward her
Reaching my hands, my arms
Just wanting to comfort her
She walked right through me
Not noticing my presence one bit
Five hours later
I sat in the chair that faced our bed
Watching her cry
Cry herself to sleep
The sobbing slowly ceased
As she drifted off to sleep
I crawled up behind her
And wrapped my arms tight around her waist
I guess ghosts can sleep as well
Because I fell asleep
But just in time
To see her crack a small sleepy smile
and hear her whisper
"Goodnight"
