Ghost

She rises from the ashes Finds her way to The place where I'm laying now Standing there beside my mattress She will watch me Sleep on burial grounds Where our love was Carved in those grave stones Six feet below Wilting like a rose She'll always be The one that tasted bittersweet The love that turned me cold Froze the marrow in my bones She'll always be The timid wind that's whispering The smell inside my home The creaky doors and opened windows She'll always haunt me like a ghost Memory lane has its rough patches It's a twisted road And makes my stomach sick But ever since it rained sometime ago The fragile path we chose Left no room for heroes She'll always be The one that tasted bittersweet The love that turned me cold Froze the marrow in my bones She'll always be The timid wind that's whispering The smell inside my home The creaky doors and opened windows She'll always haunt me like a ghost She'll always be The better part of bittersweet I'll be in love with the ghost Of the stranger I used to know And she'll never leave me alone
