The Life of My Time
I saw a ghost tonight.
Something trying to see me.
A figure of dark and pale light
Asking to be free
I saw something tonight
That I cannot explain
Something of both fire and ice
Something untamed
I saw a ghost tonight
Asking me to leave
Demanding the life of my time
Assessing the soul inside me
I saw a ghost tonight
It made me follow its path
It moved straight through the brick wall
At where the mirror hangs over the hearth
I saw a ghost tonight
As it turned to see me
In the mirror it looked deep into my eyes.
The ghost I saw was me.
