you a ghost

you a ghost and unaffected
there will be more where I came from
those who laugh out loud
but are not without limitation
and live according to life

you a ghost and unaffected
observed only hazily
there will be others
whose spirit you desire
but who shall see through you

vague and disconnected
as without detail as without truth
you a ghost and discontented
in a spotlight you disappear
into corners you creep full of shame

you a ghost and unaffected
to be like that dead lover
so arousing, so romantic
touch yourself to it, like you did
eroticise suffering, idealise pain

in the end it still wasn’t real
in the end they were still all alone
you a ghost and discontented
with those who laugh out loud
dissatisfied until they become like you

you a ghost and unaffected
moaning and groaning for show
an angry shadow lurking
amongst those who refuse
to perish at your depraved command.
