You disappeared like a ghost
Gone in plain sight
Yet I still feel you where I froze
Goosebumps in the middle of the night
Your voice sounded like echoing whispers
From the distant window where you withered
The wind hummed to your spectral screams
And all I could do was watch you leave
Flew away through the funereal red mist
You banshee vanished into the unknown
Stole the luck of Irish
Left nothing but putrid flesh and bones
You didn't even bother closing
As if you wanted the chase through the storm
But the leaves and branches came crashing in
Covered me like a blanket as if to keep me warm
As I lie in bed nailed shut by the thoughts of you
Lightning struck at a whim
Shattered the glass roof
Shards of crystal rained to a grim
Punctured my dreamy eyes
Reflecting pain and the impending end
Consummated with the addictive vice
A familiar image of the unmend
Alas, a tornado broke through
I spiraled down my thoughts
Sucked in and thrown away to flee or pursue
The twisted mind of a cutthroat
