The correspondence arrived
Without a return address
Familiar feminine script
Invited me to a guess
Tea kettle steam unlocked the prize
A letter meant for other eyes
Apologies of swallowed pride
Signed first name only by the bride
But a letter from a ghost
Can't haunt a peaceful mind
"You probably think I'm a bitch
But you can't really be blamed
I've found a husband" she said
Left him discretely unnamed
"He's everything that I've dream of
I'd die if someone took his love
I'd hate for anyone to do
To me what I once did to you"
But a letter from a ghost
Can't haunt a peaceful mind
You're wondering what I'm feeling at this moment
I find that I am wondering the same
But take this as a half-assed sort of answer
And not a complication to the game
I sealed it carefully up
With a thin layer of glue
So later on that same day
It could be opened anew
I feigned surprise when it was read
My girlfriend turned to me and said
"She's trying to get beneath your skin"
And I replied "if so I win
'Cos a letter from a ghost
Can't haunt a peaceful mind"
