Afterlife Musings

“I often wonder what a ghost does during those endless hours stuck in their corporeal home. I think I’d reminisce over all my failings – I mean that’s all I seem to do now. So, I’d be something like this.”

I wrote this story in answer to the following prompts:
FOWC with Fandango — Cavalier
Pensitivity’s Three Things Challenge — Family – People – Together

Afterlife Musings

I died a couple years ago
Having lived a life of to-and-fro
People didn’t much like me
I was cavalier you see

I’d coalesce myself through life
March through grief and strife
Family couldn’t keep me together
I was to be alone forever

There was one love
I gave myself the shove
Being a useless old spur
I couldn’t let myself hurt her

Now, I’m a ghost in the afterlife
I failed work, love and life
And have a lot to bemoan
Apologies if I knock and groan

Life only took from me
Sure I toiled and was gutsy
I stayed worthless and now bodiless
Make sure you claim success
