I travel this empty hall,
It's that time of the year again.
I pass you by but you don't hear my call,
I'm a wondering soul with no end.
How could you leave me like that?
We were tight, yet somehow I was tossed away.
I was there for you always, and you turned your back,
I had a million questions while you had nothing to say.
Now I am paying the price for the betrayal you cursed me,
I'm trapped forever while you walk around free...
I'm just a ghost!
We aren't even close.
I never mattered at all.
You told me to go,
Never let me know.
I would be the one to fall.
So I'm the one who has to suffer,
An eternity alone forever.
While you live the perfect life.
Jealousy burns my soul red,
But maybe it's best I'm dead.
Because you won't be caused any strife...
Every year it's the same old recurrence,
Haven't moved on, I'm being restricted.
I presented you space, but it makes no difference,
This complication I never expected.
How's it feel to survive?
Because being dead isn't easy.
I'd give anything to be alive,
Switch places with me.
Now I'm paying the price for your mistake,
I gave and provided while you would only take...
I'm just a ghost!
We aren't even close.
I never mattered at all.
You told me to go,
Never let me know.
I would be the one to fall.
So I'm the one who has to suffer,
An eternity alone forever.
While you live the perfect life.
Jealousy burns my soul red,
But maybe it's best I'm dead.
Because you won't be caused any strife...
You, I will haunt,
I'll never cross over.
Play tricks and taunt,
In your life I am forever.
If I can't be happy,
Neither shall you.
Everyone pinned the blame on me,
Do they actually know the whole truth?
I know how good you are at keeping a lie,
That's exactly why I was the one to die...
I'm just a ghost!
We aren't even close.
I never mattered at all.
You told me to go,
Never let me know.
I would be the one to fall.
So I'm the one who has to suffer,
An eternity alone forever.
While you live the perfect life.
Jealousy burns my soul red,
But maybe it's best I'm dead.
Because you won't be caused any strife...

Thank you a bunch! I put my songs into albums, and I decided to do a 3-song Halloween EP for the first time ever. The first two songs were all about how fun Halloween night is. However, I wanted to construct a song that had deeper meaning. So, I came up with Ghost. It's honestly one of the best songs I have ever written. You can either take the person as a ghost, who is dead and haunts the other person, or, it could be a metaphor about the person being a "ghost" to someone who no longer acknowledges them. Either way, thank you for reading my work! It means a lot!

Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.

Your song is amazing, when I read it I could imaine the pain and anger the one who would sing the song or the writer was going through.  I am truly impressed.
