Ghost

In the Dark, cold hours alone in the Night,
And you sit by yourself in a darkened room.
Recalling a time when Day was Bright,
And Impending Fate did not so loom...

You'll remember me then, when I Was,
Where, What, Who I Was.
A Candle in the Darkness, a Shadow in the Light.
That sense of Perfection just seemed so right...

Then the Flames doused, spirited away.
Colours of Life petrify into Grey.
Yet a Spark of the Past may yet still stay,
Over the Hills and Far away...

Here you sit by a window, gazing out at the Moon.
The Wolf of Shadow that came too soon.
You questioned, grieved, wept bitter tears.
The one who Was, shall not ever be here.

A Scar of the Present, Spirit of the Past.
Lost in Time's Veil and could not last.
Your Soul in Turmoil, Endlessly...
As I, the Ghost of your Memory...
 
Really great. Even though there are cliches they work well at setting the tone. My favorite part is the second stanza. Maybe explore a little bit more of how drastically things have changed. It is obvious that they did, I would like to know how so and what happened. Keep up the good work. :)
