Her Ghost Haunts Me Still

Moonless midnight hangs o'er all this hour,
Cruel reflection of my life.
Emptiness is burned into the fibres of my being,
Pitch sky reminds me of that.
T'was not always so, nay, once there was something,
Gave me purpose, gave me joy.
'Til I drove her away with my foolish ways,
And yet, her ghost haunts me still.

She was a celestial creature, a thing of my dreams,
All that I could e'er want.
Far more than deserved, a sign of what was to come,
Still I fell, so mesmerised.
Too good, it couldn't be true, wasn't our fate,
I fought reason 'til the last.
And now I pay with this curse, shadowed by my past,
Because her ghost haunts me still.

My queen of ice, she torments without a shred of remorse,
I squirm, helpless in her claws.
And she sinks in deep, tearing through my psyche,
Mocking my every mistake.
Bringing back my past and savaging hopes of future,
Why does she do this to me?
I gave her all that I was, gave her my flesh, mind, more.
Why does her ghost haunt me still?

Hand on my shoulder, whispers in my ear.
Her ghost haunts me still.
Burning in my head, frost o'er my skin.
Her ghost haunts me still.
The eternal nightmare that stalks me everywhere.
Her ghost haunts me still.
Embrace the spectre there, all that I will e'er have.
Her ghost haunts me still.
