The hand of the ghost
Entered my chest
It penetrated the coat
It passed through the vest
Fingers of ice
Surrounding my heart
The love of my life
Decided to depart
So silently there
The dark one did creep
Soundlessly there
In the night he did reap
Away in the night
Gone like a mist
Quietly slipped away
Our lips never kissed
Passed away in the night
A veil in the dark
Never a blemish
Never a mark
Never a thought
Of what’s left behind
Of what the experience
Does in a mind
This is a thought
In my mind I will keep
As I watched the love
Of my life
Go to sleep
