Ghost Stories

Wraith surreal, deep in the gloom
Of my old tortured soul
Creeps into my empty room
When vigilance grows old

Knocking, pushing buttons, she
Cannot be gently shed
Red dress glowing brightly darkly
Upon the foot of bed

Laugh with me just once again
She greedily implores
Let's take this ghostly love train
To Houston's filthy shores

There we can bathe in oil slick
To whet the heartsfire heat
I'll bring you back to house real quick
Soon as I've burnt the meat

BEGONE! you wretch, you shattered wench
You've nothing I can use
I'll hold my pillow 'til I wrench
My heart from your tired muse

You take the pain you left last time
Take it to your brother
Another muse soon makes my rhyme
For I have found another
