Ghost In Me

I hear your echo on the wind
From wherever you may be
I feel your soul with my own;
Stirring a lost ghost in me.

A lost ghost in me.

Haunted by your voice
Deep inside my heart
And the pain of this
Is tearing me apart.

I see people holding hands
And I covet them, I covet them
What else can I do?
I%u2019ve reached breaking point
Why hold the phantom hand
When coldness inside seeks
The warmth of you?
Just what is the point..

Of holding out so much
More than I can bear
And the longing has
Started to wear.

So I hear you now
Everywhere I go
Haunting you slip inside
Warming me within
With love and honesty
That has never lied.

Kisses are words from you
And I am ever wondering
Is that enough to be
Worth this great agony
Of your hauntings
Like a ghost in me.

Ghost in me, ghost in me
Will you ever let me be?
I can%u2019t take this pain
It%u2019s driving me insane.
Hear me ghost in me, ghost in me
Will you ever come and see me?
I%u2019m so lost without you
From a love so true.

From a love so true.

From a love so true.

So I hear you now
Everywhere I go
Haunting you slip inside
Warming me within
With love and honesty
That has never lied.

I hear your echo on the wind
From wherever you may be
I feel your soul with my own;
Stirring a lost ghost in me.

A ghost in me.

A quickly written but otherwise meaningful song written under the inspiration of feeling love for somebody distant, somebody who wasn't there to touch... Like a ghost.

This piece really hit the nail on the head for me.
To me, it's about my exboyfriend.. who'd you have in mind when you wrote it?
Really pain-filled and poetic work. It's even lyrical. I could so see this as a really melodic, dark, haunting song... one of those seven or eight minute ones.

I really like this. =)

That's exactly what I was going for, thank you. I wrote it thinking of my girlfriend. We met only on-line but had been talking for many years. It just got to a point where it hurt because I couldn't be with her. To me a stroke of the face, a cuddle, a kiss is far more meaningful than words on a screen. After years I couldn't take it anymore. I wrote this song. Unfortunately, the relationship ended on a mutual ground with complete understanding: we're still great friends. I just couldn't take dating a ghost on a machine.
