It's beginning to feel like this house is haunted
For you are turning into an unfriendly ghost
I've tried to give you everything you've said you wanted
Hoping that it would pay off when I may need you the most

Yet I think back to all those times when we were kissing
For I love how it felt like I could touch your soul
But now when I look at you it's like your soul went missing
Forcing me to see that I've failed to play my expected role

For it's about that time of year
Where every home seems to be filled with love
While ours seems to be filled with my fear
That you want to fly free like a ghostly dove

Because it seems like our house is haunted
As I realize that your soul's silence was never a joke
For now you tell me that I was never the one you wanted
And I feel devastated by the words of which you just spoke

Oh my love it's now clear that you are a ghost
For I thought that I had your heart in spite of it never being there
And now I am a soldier who stands at her post
To keep my heart from shouting things like, "How could you not care?"

Or from screaming, "How could you have kept this hidden?"
When you made me think you loved me so I gave you my everything
Oh yes believe me now when I say that any thought of you is forbidden
After I gave you everything and you leave me with absolutely nothing

For how dare you make me feel unwanted
When I worked hard to do the things you say you like
Maybe all ghosts like you have a special way to make a house seem haunted
Oh I hope God forgives me for telling you to take a hike

Because Lord knows that there have been too many nights
Where I prayed that your soul would come out and say boo
But this haunted house just like this love has no hope nor lights
After all the pain we have put each other through

Which leads us to now where I let you know
That it's better we both look for someone new
I'm forcing my heart to completely let you go
Because your absence now gives me reason to
Ghosts just seem to really interest me and I thought it was a cool idea for anyone who feels like they have been or once were abandoned. Please don't let someone else's abscence stop you from finding yourself because you will always be with yourself even when others cannot be. Also remember that you are allowed to fill your "house" with anything you want to and that you also have the power to take out anything that might no longer serve you. It just may be that doing so will cause you the pain you NEED to get stronger.
