I want you to haunt me
I have questions to ask
What were you feeling
On the day that you passed?

I dream of you nightly
And wonder what you thought
Were you planning to call me?
Then decided you oughtn't?

With your dying breath
Were you cursing my name?
Or professing your love
When the dark shadows came?

I want you to haunt me
I have things to say
You think I'd stopped caring
That I'd turn you away

But there's no way to know
What could have been
You were not yet twenty
And I just seventeen

I'm already haunted
By regrets and dark thoughts
So please, come and haunt me
I would have answered your call.

I feel your presence beside me,

and your breath upon my neck.

Return though you've been wronged,
Keep answering the night's call,
Suffering the abuse, ignoring your
