Ghost of Juliet

What spirit is this that steals my sleep

And haunts me from the past?

'Tis a phantom of a tragedy

That her mournful shadow casts

A restless soul that invades my dreams

While walking to and fro

She bids that I should come to her

And be her Romeo

She wanders through my bedroom door

When I am fast asleep

Awakened by her cries for help

As I listen to her weep

This ghost I fear has evil intent

Though, I cannot see her face

She casts her spell upon my heart

And will not leave this place

I cannot be her Romeo

For he sleeps in days done spent

I dare not go where she wants me to,

Where he's already went

This apparition calls to me

As I try to resist her voice

Alas, I feel I'm growing weaker

And soon I'll have no choice

Though she beckons me to go with her

I dare not surrender yet

I'm cursed to be a tortured soul

By the ghost of Juliet
