Fantasma

by Shaeril McBrown

During the events of Stinking Badges, Frida wrote a poem about a ghost. Inspired by Emilie Autumn's song Ghost

Suarez Household, Frida's Room

Frida began to write a poem.

~Did you know

Sometimes it frightens me

When you say my name

And I can't see you

Will you ever learn to materialize

Before you speak

Impetuous boy

If that's what you really are

How many centuries

Since you've climbed a balcony

Or do you do this every night

With someone else~

Manny heard a harpischord playing

~You tell me that you never leave

And I am almost afraid

To believe it

Why is it me

You've chosen to follow

Did you like the way I look

When I am sleeping~

~Was my hair more fun to tangle

Are my dreams more entertaining~

Manny walked into Frida's house

~Do you laugh

When I'm complaining

That I'm all alone

Where were you

When I searched the sea

For a friend to talk to me

In a year

Where will you be~

~Is it enough

For you to steal into my mind

Filling up my page with

Music written in my hand

You know I'll take the credit

For I must have made you come to me somehow~

Manny walked up the stairs

~But please

Try to close the curtains

When you leave at night

Or I'll have to find someone

To stay and warm me~

~Will you always attend my midnight tea parties

As long as I set your place

If one day

Your sugar sits untouched

Will you have gone forever~

~Would you miss me

In a thousand years

When you will dry

Another's tears~

~But you say

You'll never leave me

And I wonder if you'll have the decency

To pass through my wall

To the next room

While I dress for dinner~

~But when I'm stuck in conversation

With stuffed shirts

Whose adoration

Hurts my ears

Where are you then~

~Can't you cut in

When I dance with other men

It's too late

Not to interfere with my life

You've already made me

A most unsuitable wife

For any man who wants to be the first

His bride has slept with~

~And you can't just fly into people's bedrooms

Then expect them to calmly wave goodbye~

Manny walked into Frida's room

~You've changed the course of history

And didn't even try~

~Where are you now

Standing behind me

Taking my hand

Come

And remind me

Who you are

Have you traveled far

Are you made of stardust too

Are the angels after you

Tell me

What I am to do~

~But until then

I'll save your side of the bed

Just come

And sing me to sleep~

Frida hears Manny's voice

"Frida?"

Frida screamed and falls

Manny held Frida up

"Frida are you okay"

Frida said "Yes i'm fine"

Manny said "What are you listening to"

Frida said "Oh i was listening to Emilie Autumn's songs like I want my innocence back and Ghost"

Frida and Manny blushed

Manny said "Anyway i gotta go bye"

Frida said "Bye"

As Manny left, Frida sit on her bed.

Frida yawned and goes to sleep

Suddenly a ghostly spanish guitarist fly into Frida's room.

He began to play his guitar.

The End
