Haunted

She sits in the window

And stares at the moon

And on the cd player

Is the same old tune

She knows every word

Every line in each song

And its always on repeat

And she starts to hum along

All the stars spell his name

All the photos tell a tale

And she smiles, sheds a tear

Her reflection ever pale

She remembers all the good times

Every minute, every day

But in her eyes she is haunted

And the dreams fade away

She doesn’t know what day it is

Or why she is still here

And she sits and waits at the window

For his ghost to appear

She swears she sees him

In the garden every night

So she sits in the window

With the glow of the moonlight

She looks in the garden

The places where they lay

And she smiles once again

With memories of the days

And the people passing in the street

They sometimes stop and stare

At the haunted girl in the window

The ghost that’s always there
