BURN (Wattys2015?)

i swear i thought i had seen a ghost

i swear i thought i had seen a ghost

hiding behind the hallway door

but i was disappointed because it wasn't the ghost of you

you don't haunt me anymore

i chased down the ghost

and demanded it take me to heaven or hell

because i had a few people i needed to talk to

i had to know they were okay and well

but the ghost laughed and fell through my fingers

and told me it was okay and it just wasn't my time

but i howled that it wasn't fair

and being among the living wasn't fine

i am surrounded by ghosts of all kinds

i am choked by memories and the bones of the dead

but the ghost i didn't recognize just laughed

and told me that it was all in my head
