This week's assignment was to write a love gone wrong song. Another super-late rush job.
lyrics
Well you closed the book
Barely halfway in
And put it back on the shelf
Closed your eyes
said silent prayers
To wake up someone else
Ghosts don’t have the time of day
But they’re always keeping watch
Nagging with their bitter hearts
No fear of being caught
They don’t care that their being there
Might cause you too much pain
They just hold hands with the shadows
Like diggers beside the grave
But each new day
Before the mirror confirms
You know all to too well
There’s new lines
To criticize
This haunted empty shell
Ghosts don’t have the time of day
But they’re always keeping watch
Nagging with their bitter hearts
No fear of being caught
They don’t care that their being there
Might cause you too much pain
They just hold hands with the shadows
Like diggers beside the grave
