The Ghost

The Ghost - Holly Henry

I was a ghost

Sleeping in the worst

Hiding behind bad poles Lost in rabbit holes

Cold and pale Trying to keep sane

Learning to prevail

Against my own brain

And I never fully appeared

'Cause all the kids thought I was weird

So I polished off the clocks

Set them all to chime

Waiting in the dark

While they sang at the same time

And I may not have the best

And dusted all the chairs I got it in my head

Maybe someone would care

But I never fully appeared

'Cause all the kids thought I was weird

Now I never fully prepared

'Cause all the kids thought I was weird

So I held my breath in corners

Trying to be brave

Watching while they mourned her

A girl that could be saved Kissing all her pictures

Wishing she would've survived

Reading lines from scriptures

Like they did when she was alive

And I never shed a tear

'Cause death was all I had feared

No I never fully appeared
