Ghosts in a Closet

Smile once again at me and close the door
I'm nothing but a demon of my own world
I set ablaze the drafts of stories old
Leaving without tears and empty words

So when you wake up, don't try to find me more
As I have gone forever
Once and for all

[refrain]:
I know that time will tell the fairytale of hope
This poem not to blame me, not to atone
So face me here beside you and look into my eyes
For you've become a ghost in this life of mine
In this life of mine

Smile once again at me and leave me be
I'll close the door for the ghosts in a closet not to chase me
When the night to come, when cries become a whisper
When everything is gone, –
I'll be for you at the end of the dawn

But when you wake up, don't try to find me more
As we are gone forever
Once and for all

[refrain]:
I know that time will tell the fairytale of hope
This poem not to blame me, not to atone
So face me here beside you and look into my eyes
For you've become another ghost in this life of mine
In this life of mine
