Poem: Ghost Lyrics & Chords By Emilie Autumn

Did you know
Sometimes it frightens me
When you say my name
And I can't see you
Will you ever learn to materialize
Before you speak
Impetuous boy
If that's what you really are
How many centuries
Since you've climbed a balcony
Or do you do this every night
With someone else
You tell me that you never leave
And I am almost afraid
To believe it
Why is it me
You've chosen to follow
Did you like the way I look
When I am sleeping
Was my hair more fun to tangle
Are my dreams more entertaining
Do you laugh
When I'm complaining
That I'm all alone
Where were you
When I searched the sea
For a friend to talk to me
In a year
Where will you be
Is it enough
For you to steal into my mind
Filling up my page with
Music written in my hand
You know I'll take the credit
For I must have made you come to me somehow
But please
Try to close the curtains
When you leave at night
Or I'll have to find someone
To stay and warm me
Will you always attend my midnight tea parties
As long as I set your place
If one day
Your sugar sits untouched
Will you have gone forever
Would you miss me
In a thousand years
When you will dry
Another's tears
But you say
You'll never leave me
And I wonder if you'll have the decency
To pass through my wall
To the next room
While I dress for dinner
But when I'm stuck in conversation
With stuffed shirts
Whose adoration
Hurts my ears
Where are you then
Can't you cut in
When I dance with other men
It's too late
Not to interfere with my life
You've already made me
A most unsuitable wife
For any man who wants to be the first
His bride has slept with
And you can't just fly into people's bedrooms
Then expect them to calmly wave goodbye
You've changed the course of history
And didn't even try
Where are you now
Standing behind me
Taking my hand
Come
And remind me
Who you are
Have you traveled far
Are you made of stardust too
Are the angels after you
Tell me
What I am to do
But until then
I'll save your side of the bed
Just come
And sing me to sleep
