To Love a Ghost

I’m going down a path of destruction and disappointment
But if I change my course
I will be without you…
If I ever had you to begin with.
You are my light
You illuminate this long path
Without you to guide me
I would stumble and wander astray
But I must think of you…
For no one can love a ghost.
I only burden you
I do not wish to haunt you
You have other things on your mind…
Invisible to you
Your frightened by my presence…
Just like everyone else
I never meant to scare you
But I am a ghost
And no one could love a ghost.
I wonder this path
This familiar path
I hold your hand
Surprised you pull away
You are terrified of something
Unexplained.
You run
Desperate I follow your light
Selfish I am
To stalk this way
But I can’t help it
I’m afraid to stay away
With a love
Painted in blood
I am only killing you
I’m a parasite
I feed off you to get what I want
Leaving you hollow
Miserable.
I never meant harm
Honestly it was not in my intentions
I just want your love
But that’s asking too much…
For I am a ghost
And no one could love a ghost.
