a ghost called sadness
paid me a visit at night
I shouldn't have let him in
but he was already inside
I didn't dare to send him away
thus with me, he stayed
that night he reminded me
of all the things I'd rather forget
memories of loved ones
who never loved me once
crushed dreams from long ago
and broken promises slowly subside
my heart carries with her
a lifetime of ache inside
and the sadness still lingers
in the shivering air outside
it's been hours and I'm still here
soaked in moonlit tears
it's been days and I wonder
oh, when this will be over
