The Ghost Boy

I'm in love with a ghost.

I met a boy.

He never turned into a man.

 

I'm in love with a ghost.

He haunts me and makes me glow.

Engulfs me, steals my soul.

 

I'm in love with a ghost.

He lingers over me all too slow.

Stabs me and devours me whole.

 

I am now a ghost.

Lifeless, unable to feel.

 

I am now a ghost.

Void of magic,

Just eternal despair.
