Haunting

Christina8

Heavens sake, if you only knew

Then I think you would feel blue

'Cuz so much has happened to me,

Afraid of even the slightest yell

Skiddish of a church bell

He haunts my dreams nightly.

 

Scared of what could be

I'm not worth it, you'll see

I don't want to be terrified anymore

Right down to the pills I take

I feel so goddamn fake

In my soul, a hole was tore

 

If things had gone differently

Then I might be a new me

But then, wishing never works

I want to be so brave

A light in the darkest cave

Because the dark is where he lurks.

            Abstract yet clear in its own way... The emotion behind the lines comes forth vividly. Well penned, dear poet.
