she’s a goner, she was never mine

god, i see her in reflections

phantom, oh, she’s a ghost

she haunts, and she whispers


she is mine,

i can’t believe she’s mine

and just as she is mine, i am hers

hostage, my heart is bound


together we are intertwined

just a thread tied to her ring

a piece to a greater game

a stranger in her life


forevermore i see her in me

she hides in my feelings

but she creeps into my soul

no fear, just exhaustion


with her, i am nothing

without her, i am a fool

i suppose, just like she

i am a goner
