Phantom
I wish there was a phantom
lurking right behind me,
staring from the depths of dark,
trying its best to find me.
And in the night, I'd be scared,
scared, yes, but not lonely.
I'll have someone who'll be keeping eyes,
on me and me only.
And even if it wants to haunt me,
to frighten me or to rip me apart,
I'll be content and perhaps
accepting it I'll do my part.

I wish there was a phantom,
sitting under my bed and listening
to my night long cries which never end,
far from the hope that's glistening.
And when I fall asleep it'd still be around,
even if it is to haunt me,
I'll let it try to outperform
the horrors which already daunt me.
