Slowly it comes, intercepting thoughts
I could have sworn it was you
I was told not to believe
Just leave he said
We can’t ever know the truth
Sudden interruptions, falling off the edge
Just close it up and try again
You never really knew how to begin

Like a fire it burns
What was on top would never return
Moving of the sheets, an absent entity
Reaching towards nothing, the need to withdraw
Happening again it must be real
The silence begs to differ and it’s time
Minutes go by to never return

And in the night it shines through
What we swore was never there
Reality becomes blurred and we see clearly
I know that you’re there
Just bring me back to you

Previous experience learn from my mistakes
If only it were worse with a witness
But now I’m alone and I know
Never was it impossible
My perception is not what it was
The ghost of you it lingers
Broken in pieces I remain
