Haunted – Tyler Cree, BA (Hons) Creative Writing

I'm being haunted by A girl in a raincoat I don't know why she cries By my bedpost every night I don't know why she sighs When I flush the pills under fluorescent light I don't know why she tries I'm haunted by this girl She stands beside me when I stare off into space At the bus stop when I'm trynna remember the date She sits by me when I shake and shake and shake She fluffs my pillow when In floods, all my mistakes Oh, girl, you're so transparent You're watching me like I don't know how to breathe You're watching me like I'm a fish out of water You're watching me like I'm an explosive set to go off At any moment And girl, is it true That I do feel so blue? And girl is it sad That I'm repressing what we had? And girl, is it okay If I drink my troubles away away away? I'm being haunted In my sleep In my waking moments She follows me As if she needs me to breathe As if she knows what I'm gonna do When she leaves Oh, girl, you're so transparent I don't know why she tries I don't know why she tries
