Ghost

I am afraid of a ghost

On a certain day on the coast

I had everything I wanted

Now I only see the ectoplasm

Nothing more than a vision granted

And the universe laughs with sarcasm

Cause I am afraid of a ghost

In a while I loved her the most

Yes, she haunts me until the sunrise

And I wait for the sunset

If I look to those snake eyes

A heartbeat tells that I love her yet

I dreamt with the return of the ghost

But my hopes turned to toast

It has been six months without a "Hi"

And it is time to forget "you and I"

While I am crying for her

She does not even try

Better stay away from the ghost

Than seeing that another is at my post

Until the haunting ends

Till the heart comprehends

Nothing more than a mistake

Me and her will never be friends

But if I see the ghost

I should thank her almost

Cause with my broken love

I became a ghoul

I fed thereof

To stop being a fool

I became my own ghost

A lost that I can not boast

When I extinguished the flame

I thought you would call my name

I can hardly recognize myself

A heartless monster I became
