I'm a long way from home,

I still tremble from that last text you sent.

I retype the reply I want to say, 

but the other me in my mind pauses my thumb.

 

Why won't you hear?

I've dressed my wounds by fucking people who aren't you...

But shit, I'm so blue without you.

I forget, to you I'm just a ghost,

But remember,

I know how to haunt you.

You're not ready for the shit I can do.

 

Why can't you see?

No...

I won't make threats,

Just like you never kept promises.

Eye for an eye,

tooth for a tooth,

you break me,

I break you too.

 

They say Halloween is the one night ghosts walk among the living...

I'll see you then.

    Beautiful song, Niall! The poem is quite dark, raw and to the point. Hope you don't feel like this anymore!!!
