Author's Note: The song is "Ghost" by The Indigo Girls and it is Divided in a nutshell. So, I thought it would be a great idea to post it at the beginning of the story. Thanks to Bitsy for sending it to me. It's just a little forewarning about the journey that lies ahead. Thanks to Gina for making the banner.
There's a letter on the desktop that
I dug out of the drawer
The last truce we ever came to in
our adolescent war
And I start to feel a fever from
the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons, shadowing
my dreams
And the Mississippi's mighty but
it starts in Minnesota
At a place where you could walk
across with five steps down
And I guess that's how you started,
like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right
through me and I start to drown
And there's not enough room in this
world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost
and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you
the most
I'm in love with your ghost, I'm
in love with your ghost
Dark and dangerous like a secret
that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt
about you last night make me blush
When you kiss me like a lover, then
you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river, play your
memory like the piper
And I feel it like a sickness, how
this love is killing me
But I'd walk into the fingers of
your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity, I've
never been this close
In love with your ghost
Unknowing captor, you'll never know
how much you
Pierce my spirit, but I can't touch
you
Can you hear it, a cry to be free
Or I'm forever under lock and key
As you pass through me
Now I see your face before me, I
would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island,
as the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence and
I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles with
you always at my heels
And my bitter pill to swallow is
the silence that I keep
That poisons me, I can't swim free,
the river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch,
I am no worse at most
In love with your ghost
