Kissing A Ghost Kissing A Fool

What a clod he must have been.
Seems to happen to him again and again.
Spinning his world around and around.
Getting beaten when he is down.

Love crept it's way back into his life.
It whistled and called and all seemed right.
He felt so alive. The air was clear.
He felt it always. Whether far or near.

Then the heart on his hand faded away.
And what took months to get was gone in a day.
Her laugh. Her smile. He will miss the most.
But all he was doing was kissing a ghost.

Her eyes are dry and burning red.
Angry about the lies she was once fed.
Swearing and cursing that she is alone.
Wondering if what she had is gone.

Love whispered through her window.
And It frightened her to know.
Doubt crept in. Wondered if it's right.
Trust crept out. That thief of the night.

And what she wanted was gone that way.
Wishing and praying it would always stay.
And those feelings to her were exciting and new.
But all she was doing was kissing a fool.
