Haunted O listen to that cold wind outside the sill Can't you hear its shriek? Hear what its whispers could tell And ignore the banshee's shrill What a haunted life I live these times Never waking, never sleeping Yet always lost inside the trench between To leave you to think Alone and full of your ghosts To think of how your life could go so horribly wrong And how the tears will never amount enough To express the pain you feel Or how lonely you are To think of where all the warmth had left And how the lone winds can sound so enormous With gaping jaws to swallow you whole To not even leave a memory You're locked in an empty house Full of sobbing Yours or someone's own echoes? To forever make you wonder which Was your own voice Huddling by a dying fire Pretending everything's okay Adults may be reduced so quickly To the children weak in understanding The whispers tell you to always face the ghosts To show no fear in its face But it's such a grain in your life That makes you wonder yet again What they ever knew of haunting You're falling fast Disappearing into an abyss you can't seem to leave Turning to find that your fingers always slip through the hands you thought you saw To leave you falling faster as something shatters inside What a mess, what a tragedy! The sirens singing harshly in your head And the Muses grow silent You realize that you've abandoned yourself Viper loose in your heart You're just about to break And nothing you can do will help All because of the haunting So think about this now Or it'll come back to be vengeful later And know to wonder the shivers involved When you hear that someone is pained And will soon perish Haunted "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |
