Graveyard Boy

I flirted with death in a moonlit dance

Now it haunts my steps won't leave me to chance

His ghostly love a chain that won't atone

I entertained death now it won't leave me alone

In the graveyard's quiet dusk where ancient whispers weave

I met a boy from the '80s in the cool of eve

His aloneness hung like mist upon the old stones' breadth

And in his deep and haunting eyes I saw the depths of death

At first my heart leaned in—pity for his eerie plight

A specter out of time enshrined in endless night
