Haunted


I will steal your hopes.
I will cloud your dreams.
I’ll be there to darken your thoughts.
I will make your heart heavy,
Though you fight to ignore me
Your efforts will all be for naught.

I will crush your spirit,
And prey on your mind.
There is no escaping my woe.
You won’t ever see me,
And cannot defeat me;
I will frustrate all that you know.

I will punish you daily
With guilt and self-doubt;
You will question all that is true.
Your decisions have given
Me reason for living;
I will never stop haunting you.

I am... REGRET

Brandyn*
You have said this so well, regret clouds everything that comes into our lives...and more times then not lets us miss out on what we so desprately want.  Very well put together in thought and in feeling. Thank you for sharing this.

 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.

(sighs) Have known this feeling. So true are your words and everyonce and a while the "haunting" returns.

SO sad at times, however true. I like the way that you use your words. It's as if they just flow & neverend!

How true! How we are so much ever so haunted by regret of our wrongdoings and 'left to be done' deeds.

Nice work, I liked the piece.

Regards,
Sudhir.

 Take each day as it comes,
Consider each day as a flight,
Try hard to succeed and fly,
Surely then you will reach some height.

But if by some chance you don’t,
Remember that tomorrow will always come.
Learn this well and learn this hard
That today’s efforts will pay for tomorrow’s fun.
