She came to call
And stays most of the fall
She takes the ground floor
You the  one above

The  floorboards creaked under your weight
Driving her wild she'd yell at the ceiling
You thought maybe it was from a hospital she escaped
Any scenario was none to appealing

You hoped for more than this
Trying so **** hard to appease
When you met in the kitchen
You'd ask who this strange person is

Something about her had you sweating bullets
You reached for a tea towel while the kettle boiled
She whimpered and you didn't know what to do
She shrieked and you poured the tea

Around the first snow you saw a way out
Above her you'd shuffle sounding  soft shoe on the wooden floor
Using the wash room you'd pull the seat up and snicker inside
Leaving hair in the sink water everywhere and a mirror that's streaked

Before too long our cards were played
The rooster greeted the morning and her bags were packed
You waited at the station to make sure she got on the train
You waved a gloved hand the sound of the whistle made you free
"Go to sleep, my sweet
Just close your eyes
I know that you're beat
So ignore these pesky flies
I understand your bed is wood
I know that you're hungry
But Father is bringing us food
And water to drink and do our laundry
I can't sing your lullabies like Mother
I won't even try
I don't want my voice to be a bother
I know it'll make you cry
These little rascal rats
Won't do us no harm
They only care for the cats
That run around the farm
You know Mother had to leave
She was kind, never mean
She always told me to believe
Have faith and never commit a sin
Remember she left that dark night
Promising to be back at first light
But nemesis caught up with her said Father
As he ground her thin bones to powder"

Don't be afraid, my sweet
Father promised not to hurt us again
He locked away his tools in a kit
He will cause us no more pain
He took down Mother's skull in good will
And gave us a warm blanket for the night's chill"

I wish I could say these words to you
But alas! I have no tongue
I know my odd sounds will make you blue
So I'll just keep humming this song"

Oh! Father is home again my love
And in his hand is a whip
A dagger and what looks like a sword
He looks like a predator poised to ****
No worries, whatever happens I'll see you soon
In Paradise, far above the moon
Goodnight my little skeleton sister
Talk to you when all this is over."

I am a ghost
In form and shape
And spirit and mind.

I am an empty shell
With nothing but hollowness inside
Nothing but hardness outside
I learn to live
And go through the motions of life
But

I am a ghost
In form and shape
And spirit and mind.

I think and live
And smile and cry
But I don't feel anything
Anymore.

Someone has left me this way
Killed me each time he said
"I don't want you anymore."

I've been killed a thousand times over
And

I am a ghost
In form and shape
And spirit and mind.
I feel so used
But my complaints fall on deaf ears,
Which are only attuned to the sound of her voice.
A voice that haunts your nightmares,
And sings in your daydreams.
A voice that I tried to drown out with my own lullabies and sadden cries,
But i wouldn't couldn't can't be enough,
To be your only one.
My thoughts are laced with thoughts of you,
And it's slowly killing my senses.
So when you're eyes search for her in crowds of faces
My eyes go blind with love,
My ears turn deaf to reason,
And self preservation becomes a foreign concept.
Only my lungs seem to understand the toxicity.
My vices constrict my chest and breathing becomes impossible.
Vision slowly fading to black
And you're still the only thing on my mind.
What hope do I have
To be your only one?
I feel so used.

You arrived with a bang,
Brought lights and colours,
Turned my world upside down,
Drained my eyes of tears,
Created muscles on my cheek,
And did surgeries on my heart.

But,

When you left, the colours dulled,
The lights switched off,
The tears kept on flowing,
The stitches in my heart reopened,
The smiles for you disappeared,
And the warm summer became cold.
...
I see you everyday
And everyday it hurts
I don't know what to say
But everyday gets worse

This feeling in my heart
Is torturing my soul
And when we are apart
I feel so alone

If only you could know
What I feel for you
If only someone told me
What I have to do

What I have to do
To one day make you mine
Can it one day come true?
Can happiness be found?
