Such a Lovely Ghost

All I want to do at night

Is dance in the kitchen with you

The potatoes are burning on the stove

But that is the least of our worries

As we twirl and laugh to indie music

My face buried in your neck

Inhaling the clean sweet smell of you

Hearing the melody of your infectious laugh

As you realize we burned our dinner yet again

But, sadly, instead,

I stare into the kitchen sink at night

Piled high with dirty dishes I can’t clean

Because this place is haunted without you

No music plays here anymore

No notes of laughter hang in the air

Only the ghost of the love I had for you

Keeps me company at night now
