the ghost that haunts me

the ghost that haunts me
doran damon okkema

i'm sleeping with a ghost
trying to bury the dead
forget the smiles
and sideways glances
spit in your hand
hair on your back
bathrooms and basements
pool-sex and day trips

let these words be a eulogy
to what we had and you've become
'new life' starts
where your love ends
preview shows and younger men
all i want
is one more dance
i'm still sleeping with a ghost
