This Place Is Haunted

i’ll go away,
till there’s no one around
then leave your house
when the sun goes down

plant myself
at the first bottle i see,
and pour a thousand
drinks in the dream

and you’ll be gone
for one more day,
and i’ll watch you slip
a little further away from us

and you were right
this place is haunted

change the locks
we are unwanted

drown me in your heat-shaped locket
and store me in your fur coat pocket

and you’ll be gone
for one more year,
and i’ll watch you slip
a little further away from me
