Ghostlight

Ghostlight

When the curtains close
And the lights all dim
There’s only me
Standing there without him
The lights all fade
To the darkest of blacks
So deep that it burns
Inner demons attack
Swarming and seething
Eating mind and spirit
An all consuming power
No wonder I fear it
That empty stage
That lights on old ghosts
Brings light to the darkness
To what we fear most
So don’t leave me here
In the dark and alone
Give me thunderous cheers
I’ll truly be home
