“Phantom”

Bite your lip
Delete my message
Push me away
Any way you can
Ignore me

Eventually I get the hint
and force myself to let go
drifting out of your life
But tell me…

Who prays for your happiness
even though it means her own sorrow?

Who looks in the mirror
and sees only your eyes staring back?

Who finds time a thief
when only a moment is shared with you?

Could it be
the one who sleeps beside you each night?
I think not.

So play your little game
Pretend to be content
and hide behind that mask
a Phantom to even yourself…

Dream of me
while you die
with her.
