I remember watching people leave
But I had thought intentions would keep
Naïveté can kill over time
Slowly, clearly, as their true stripes creep
And as a twisted vine of ivy,
black thistles of shattered trust did sweep
You promised love, embraced me with care
Then,... walked past me, like I wasn't there
(Ghost Girl) ... 'what a waste and God's mistake'
- I heard you say and I died, inside,
crumbled with pain, world tumbled to break
(because of the lies)
(there's ghosts in my eyes)
When closeness unraveled to strangers,
heft of their shadows darkened the sky
They never knew me and I not them
How easily they let go but why?
And 'why' rings through my deadfall and stays
- Unanswered call but tears have gone dry
May my torment haunt you, all your days
(Ghost Girl) ... ghosts in her eyes return gaze
