Living With a Ghost

She's still awake beside him sleeping, he calls out her name
Tentions are growing thicker, nothing will be the same
Thoughts are always with her, it's to her he'll forever roam
Within his dreams upon meeting her, he feels right at home
He awakens with her name upon his lips but cannot scream or shout
She pretends to be sleeping and wonders what the commotion is all about
Does her true loves love reside within the walls of their house
Does it only reside within realms of his dreams, kept quiet as a mouse
His restlessness is unsettling yet her love for him she can't restrain
As he longs for another, she secretly wishes to break these chains
Invisible to the eye, she cannot fight a ghost
His past love haunts them both, she wishes to kill the host
Upon their deaths will they re-unite beyond the grave?
Will he be re-united with his beloved in his dreams his sub-conscience still does crave?
