Shadows brush her skin
A phantom's touch soft and sweet
Yet chilling her soul

Midnight secrets shared 
Fingers trace the empty air
Loneliness lingers

Silent pleas at night
Echoes of a love long lost
Winds whisper his name

She wanders the halls
Chasing visions craving warmth
Fingers grasp at mist

Crimson moon above
Illuminates her sorrow
A ghostly embrace

Each heartbeat a scream
Bound to a world he can't leave
Her heart a dark tomb

They dance in shadows
A waltz of longing and loss
Two souls out of time

In dreams he returns
But dawn breaks their haunted bond
Reality bites
