Skeleton
by: Doug Moreland

I’m a skeleton in her closet
Innocence we lost it
I’m a memory she won’t admit to having known
She was my angel now I’m a ghost

          Been a long time since I’ve been to our hometown
          An unplanned encounter on familiar ground
          Could she not see I was so apologetic
          A cold stare through me with no acknowledgment

          I lowered my head and I turned
          And in the corner of my head I swear that I heard
          A teardrop fall as I took another step
          Through the door to my place in her closet

I’m a skeleton in her closet
Innocence we lost it
I’m a memory she won’t admit to having known
She was my angel now I’m a ghost

          She doesn’t see me anymore
          In her mind was I really there for sure
          It’s torture to be something she hides
          A dark corner of her mind is where I reside

          To this day I know not what I have done
          It takes two to believe the other's the one
          I should move on and find somebody else
          But I’ll always feel I’ve been left on a shelf
