Holding hands with a phantom.

So go ahead and whisper sweet nothings.

For that’s all they will ever be.

Your empty words will remain empty.

From now until the end of time.

Haunted by these spectral visions of you.

Leeching my life like a cancerous sore.

Longing for my freedom.

Death would offer a better release.

Holding hands with a phantom.

Walking with the deceitful one.

A frail moment frozen in time.

Draining my life’s blood.

Two souls entwined.

My eyes closed, yet my dreams are poisoned

Shaken, fearful, and hopeless.

Trapped under this uncertainty.

As these shadows of doubt consume me.

Draining the light forevermore.

Beneath this veil of sleep.

I hear the gnashing of your teeth.

Dwelling in my head.

I can’t escape this.

Your eyes shine like ivory

Reflecting impure intentions

Blackened is your selfish heart

That I once held dear.

Take a moment to realize

You’ve broken my every will

Stolen my every breath.

I hope you choke on both.

Holding hands with a phantom.

Walking with the deceitful one.

A frail moment frozen in time.

Draining my life’s blood.

Two souls entwined.

So go ahead and whisper sweet nothings.

For that’s all they will ever be.

Your empty words will remain empty.

From now until the end of time.

Haunted by these spectral visions of you.

Leeching my life like a cancerous sore.

Longing for my freedom.

Death would offer a better release.
