The Ghost Of The Jilted Lover

Every night he knocks at her door Calls I’m hollow without it Give me back want nothing more The love I left at your feet. Beside her is heard the snore From her man in slumber’s bliss The lover’s plea to settle the score Doesn’t break his dreamful peace! Give me my love the lover howls Bereft it I’m dead Echo him the barnyard’s owls Heart dies when not love fed. I’ll not come back once Am ready for an honest pact Open the door give me a chance Return my love intact. She alone hears her lover past Sinks in her bed in fright The jilted lover in lost love’s lust Comes back on her door each night!
