It's a good night for a Ghost Walk

It’s a ghost walk, not a cake walk,

There’s no money back here

If a dead mans right hand

Slapped you hard on your rear!

He’s invisible night

You can’t see him at all,

   Watch your feet on those steps, 

Else you stumble and fall.

Then whose cold hands will grip you?

Hold you hard, 

just that way,

Not a mere mortal man,

Not a human man, nay.

But a man with no heart,

With no life of his own.

Cursed, abandoned and dead

Buried long ‘neath these stones.

I can’t tell you his story, 

I don’t know who he is

But a ghost walk’s a ghost walk;

And this ghost walk’s his.

After Work

I saw you,
When you thought that everybody else had gone.
I watched you,
What you did there, when you thought you were alone,
I took a chance,
But really wish I hadn't stayed behind,
Now I want to poke my minds eye out,
I want it to be blind.

I'm having trouble processing the awful things I've seen,
I don't know how I managed not to scream and scream and scream!
I think I knew that if you found me,
That would be the end,
But now I don't know how I can pretend to be your friend.

I can't pretend that I didn't know just what you like to do,
To both yourself and others,
When the working day is through.
Now every time you speak to me,
I'm terrified you'll ask,
But I'm never, ever, staying late with you,
And that's a fact!

Chop Chop

Don't......

Chop. Chop.

He can't see me can he?

No. No. Nonononononno. 

Why has it......

Door. 

Hide.

Small, smaller.

 Not small enough.

Stop please stop please stop. 

I won't tell.

Please.

I. (breathe, breathe)

Won't. (breathe, breathe)

Tell. (breathe)

Don't smile at me like that.

Chop.  

Chop. Chop.

Wolves

Beware,

We've let the wolves back in,

They'll

Breed, and grow and roam,

They're back

Among the sheep and dreams,

The place

That is their home.

Beware,

We've let the wolves back in,

The ones 

With teeth and claws,

Don't try 

To blame the other fools,

The fault

My love, is ours.

I Saw You!

I saw you,
When you thought that everybody else had gone.
I watched you,
What you did there, when you thought you were alone,
I took a chance,
But really wish I hadn't stayed behind,
Now I want to poke my minds eye out, I want it to be blind.

I'm having trouble processing the awful things I've seen,
I don't know how I managed not to scream and scream and scream,
I think I knew that if you found me, that would be the end,
But now I don't know if I can pretend to be your friend.

I can't pretend that I didn't know just what you like to do,
To both yourself and others, when the working day is through.
Now every time you speak to me, I'm terrified you'll ask,
But I'm never, ever, staying late with you,

And that's a fact!

Doubt

I trow I will forever be

Caught up in this conspiracy,

Between the phantom and the ghost

For it is I that plays the host

I fear fear,

And succour pain

That dances in and shouts 'insane!'

So weeping I admit him in,

And then the circle starts again.
