Promise To Love Me
You saw me there in the night
A ghost come back to haunt the light
The blood flowed from my veins
Into the street and down the gutter
You held me and closed my eyes
And settled me down until my last breath
Had left my body, my soul took flight
You promised to love me and said it was alright
Though we were strangers you showed compassion
And so I have come back to visit your love
For I know no other love in this world
You give me hope in the darkness
That I might see the light
And know that I’m alright
Ghostly passion is my might
Something more than candle light
Dripping upon the floor
I love you for now and evermore
