Oh there goes the ghost
Of God only knows
What’s leftover
Unsettled, unsober
But it’s what mattered most
At the time, a crime
A victimless pint
Half-stale and soured
Dismembered, deflowered
The spirit in kind unwinds
In the closet and under the mattress
Cacophonous noise from the attic
Scratches on windows, bloodied rose stems
Hidden and howling, haunting on whims
Oh a toast to those
Fallen, friends and foes
Subtle sentiment
Innocent intent
With the clouded window closed
Nailed pain to frame, a name
Whispered in flame
Shyly awakens
Unspoken, untaken
The spirit insane remains
Of God only knows
What’s leftover
Unsettled, unsober
But it’s what mattered most
At the time, a crime
A victimless pint
Half-stale and soured
Dismembered, deflowered
The spirit in kind unwinds
In the closet and under the mattress
Cacophonous noise from the attic
Scratches on windows, bloodied rose stems
Hidden and howling, haunting on whims
Oh a toast to those
Fallen, friends and foes
Subtle sentiment
Innocent intent
With the clouded window closed
Nailed pain to frame, a name
Whispered in flame
Shyly awakens
Unspoken, untaken
The spirit insane remains
