Something about ghosts - Matt Elliott

I’m as lonely as a ghost

As I sit down to write these notes

To you and your intended

Spring is the worst time for most

Who’ll never know the boundaries

Or heard the notes as they were sung

I believe this lonely ghost was forced to wander on

Until by chance or fate was summoned to call on you

A service that he knew wouldn’t be answered

Less repaid in lust

Still your jaded shadow was forced to look upon

Sights not even a ghost should have to see

And as he slumps so listed, he cannot bear to watch

And yet he cannot draw his gaze away and flee

This poor ghost can only howl

Although his howls cannot be heard

His cries will go unheeded

No one will ever read his words

And though he cannot weep

He sheds his tears through me
