Tell me Child, am I a ghost

Upon myself, there is a curse

For my soul never leaves the earth

Stuck in a dark black mansion

And I don't own it but it's now home

In the core of a forest

That has grown tall around me

In hindsight, I should've left

So be as it may...

No other route but to stay

As my dark soul has now calmed down

In this decades old body of mine

With no turn in time

I once used to be scared of all the ghosts

But now they are mine

Sometimes I hear thunder and sweet rain

Sorrow falling in place

I fear all that is around me will fade

And I will be standing here still

Watching it all through this window

With a dying candle in my hand

Like a gray particle of sand

As some bats and some crows

Crash into my window but the glass won't break

And my heart won't shake

For it has now been black for years

Under shadows of my peers

As I stand there and stare

The ghosts play the violin and piano

To tell me they're there

And I'll just be here with no more tears

No more heart just a crusty soul

Read every page of my vastness

So far and I have reached

My limit I can't stand

Just any closer to life

And when someone will find me and I will ask

Tell me Child, am I a ghost?

Can you see me laughing?

Can you see me cry?

Can you tell my soul,

To leave when I die?
