Phantom Girls
I can see your eyes,
But they're not real.
They don't burn like real eyes do.
You're a phantom girl,
A constructed dream,
A shadow of someone I know is real.
Your voice belongs to her,
But your words are mine,
Your words are mine,
And I'm speaking to you
Only because she's somewhere,
Talking to a phantom boy.
