hello
there you go
right through me
again
i am a ghost
you pretend
you nod and say
okay
today was a good day
let's go to bed
and play more pretend

hello
oh, you're dead?
since when?
your hands
they are always cold
i didn't notice
you're my corpse
i love to control

hello
i said sleep
you said rest
i didn't know
what you meant
until i spoke
later that week
as your body
was lowered
deep into the ground
with the worms
and ***** earth

hello
i can't say good bye
because i never
even met you
