[x] The Ghost and The Siren
(A tale of adoration and gratitude)
I was all but content in my tunnel vision
To be lost in loss and adrift in this
abyss
When a reverse siren pulled me out and into
her light
Rescuing me to the point of making me want
to save myself
I just wish I had met her before my heart
had failed me so
Before I let the darkness take me
Back when I could shed my skin
Back before my love had become so Goddamned doomed
Now I haunt this girl of many places
Enthralled by the wildness in her spirit
Watching every single day as she becomes more
exceptional
While I grow domesticated and mundane
I am a wise man made but a fool
In the space of her presence and glow
Stammering my words and gestures
In a vain attempt to simply stay in her
graces
How can I be sad in a world in which she
exists?
Even though I know she’ll never be mine
I’m still better every day that my muse bothers
to accept my affections
Just happy to be smitten and other words I
never thought I would need again
My siren haunted me in a million places
Even before I knew her name
And now that I do - my favorite thing in
the world right now
Is the fact that she knows mine as well
