Itâs uncanny
Itâs something strange
Itâs something I have
Long tried to ignore
Behind the curtain
Behind the door
If I keep my eyes cast down
It just might go away
Itâs got no name
Itâs got no shape
It canât be photographed
And it lives in no one place
Itâs got no shame
And it knows no grace
And itâs got two long arms
Reaching out for me
I hit the light
Iâll take my stand
Letâs have your best
Show your hand
The shadows run
And I see true
Itâs just the memory of you
So whatâs your pleasure
My phantom friend
What thing could bring you out
To haunt this world again
Some sweet revenge?
Some dread command?
Or do you only need
Someone to hold your hand?
Why did you leave
Your will so vague?
Just three blue lines
Across the page:
You take the vase
Iâll keep the rose
And the memory of you
