Living ghost

She walks around
Through the decaying house
That once was filled with laughter

Now things look strange
And out of place
She feels she doesn't matter

Every once in a while
Strangers come around
When they can spare the time

They'll sit and stare
And say that they care
Tell her she's looking fine

But they're just playing host
To this living ghost
Who seems to be lost in her mind
