To Love a Ghost

I’m going down a path of destruction and disappointment But if I change my course I will be without you… If I ever had you to begin with. You are my light You illuminate this long path Without you to guide me I would stumble and wander astray But I must think of you… For no one can love a ghost. I only burden you I do not wish to haunt you You have other things on your mind… Invisible to you Your frightened by my presence… Just like everyone else I never meant to scare you But I am a ghost And no one could love a ghost. I wonder this path This familiar path I hold your hand Surprised you pull away You are terrified of something Unexplained. You run Desperate I follow your light Selfish I am To stalk this way But I can’t help it I’m afraid to stay away With a love Painted in blood I am only killing you I’m a parasite I feed off you to get what I want Leaving you hollow Miserable. I never meant harm Honestly it was not in my intentions I just want your love But that’s asking too much… For I am a ghost And no one could love a ghost.
