Silhouette

She came at night,

with her ghostly charm.

She explained to me

that she meant no harm.

She sat next to me,

said she wanted to talk.

So I held her hand,

her skin like chalk.

She said she was sorry

for what she'd done,

that all she wanted

was to have some fun.

And when I asked

what I meant to her,

she refused to answer

since she knew it would hurt.

She told me to stop,

that she'll never come back.

I told her I wouldn't

and to cut me some slack.

I asked her who she was

and if it was really that bad.

She said, "I am the lover

you thought you had."
