Poem: Ghost Lyrics - Opheliac - Emilie Autumn

Ghost, 

Did you know sometimes it frightens me 

when you say my name and I can't see you 

will you ever learn to materialize before you speak 

impetuous boy, if that's what you really are 

how many centuries since you've climbed a balcony 

or do you do this every night with someone else 

you tell me that you never leave 

and I am almost afraid to believe it 

why is it me you've chosen to follow 

did you like the way I look when I am sleeping 

was my hair more fun to tangle 

are my dreams more entertaining 

do you laugh when I'm complaining that I'm all alone 

where were you when I searched the sea 

for a friend to talk to me 

in a year where will you be 

is it enough for you to steal into my mind 

filling up my page with music written in my hand 

you know I'll take the credit for I must have made you come to me somehow 

but please try to close the curtains when you leave at night 

or I'll have to find someone to stay and warm me 

will you always attend my midnight tea parties 

as long as I set your place 

if one day your sugar sits untouched 

will you have gone forever 

would you miss me in a thousand years 

when you will dry another's tears 

but you say you'll never leave me 

and I wonder if you'll have the decency 

to pass through my wall to the next room 

while I dress for dinner 

but when I'm stuck in conversation 

with stuffed shirts whose adoration 

hurts my ears, where are you then 

can't you cut in when I dance with other men 

it's too late not to interfere with my life 

you've already made me a most unsuitable wife 

for any man who wants to be the first his bride has slept with 

and you can't just fly into people's bedrooms 

then expect them to calmly wave goodbye 

you've changed the course of history 

and didn't even try 

where are you now 

standing behind me 

taking my hand 

come and remind me 

who you are 

have you traveled far 

are you made of stardust too 

are the angels after you 

tell me what I am to do 

but until then I'll save your side of the bed 

just come and sing me to sleep
