I fell in love with a ghost
It was a harder lesson than most
We walked centuries before
I had no idea this was in store
Glimpses of the warrior's being
Sent my soul seeking and seeing
A small reflection of what used to be
It did carry my soul for a time in me
But then the shadows would return
The flames to my soul it did burn
How could you lose this battle
Hanging your sword upon the mantle
Why did the shadow take you away
Where I am afraid you will forever stay
I cannot tell you the answer is near
Your true soul I will always hold dear
I will love this ghost warrior for life
Sending him blessings in his strife
Hoping one day he will find the way
In truth his being will live again in day
I can wish it were different
That I made an impact on time spent
But in pain and shadows I cannot live
To the human race I have to give
The ability to walk on this sacred ground
Not desecrate the gifts given nor that I have found
Loving a ghost is like loving a dream
The warrior lost the battle of esteem
Loving the memory of what once was
Is not enough to continue this cause
Without bringing me to the shadows
Instead of riding in the sweet meadows
I haven't lost my sword nor light
I do falter sometimes in the fight
But the darkness cannot win within me
Plainly it was never meant to be
Angels in droves surround me within
Leaving you never felt like a human sin
All your conscious answers were here
Instead you held your shadows near
Hopefully in the next life ahead
The shadows will not keep your soul dead
Because the world is missing your sword's touch
But mostly we all miss the ghost of you so much
I wish the world did not take it's toll
Forever I will love the ghost of your true soul
But in this human race
I no longer see your face
