She's a Ghost to Me, and I to Her

[thevampyr]

"Ghost"

The fog is creeping up at my door,
And I keep see’n shadows, race’n across the floor.
And it’s true, I have a fear of the dark;
I hallucinate when I can’t see,
But I swear, there’s a girl stand’n right next to me!

I pull my blankets ‘round me tightly,
And as her eyes meet mine,
I wonder, is this dream or reality?

But I can see right through her,
She is naked, but unaware,
And I can see she died from an innocent disease,
Her jaded body hang’n like death in front of me.
And I can see right through her,
Watch her walk on water
Cause she doesn’t walk on anything.
But everybody needs to walk on something
But she can’t touch anything,
Oh no,
She can’t touch anything

Well the minutes tick by,
And the shadows get longer,
And just as I think that my eyes have lied,
The ghost begins to cry,
And through her tears,
By God she screams:
“I think I’m finally close to understanding,
What I meant to you was everything.”

Then I recognize the eyes
Of my fallen angel,
With her broken halo
Slippin down ‘round her neck
And the holy water in her eyes
Baptizing everyone of her lies
Because she just couldn’t hold me inside,
And now I see,
My sins have finally come back to get me.
