Haunted Date: Wednesday, 6th February 2013 @ 04:40:49 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: dvtpdw Ghosts stalk whilst hidden in shadow Careful to never reveal their true shape Eyes watching, piercing like an arrow Huddled within my box with no escape Don't want to acknowledge their existence Fear that will bring the loss of my mind Be they harbingers of my dark conscience Or the memories of what was left behind Taunted mercilessly by their crying essence Pretending I cannot hear what they bring Hands over eyes to bring some silence Mute screams to end this tortured haunting Dawn brings the message the ghosts sent Dwell too long in the land of past damages Spend the rest of time on the isle of regret Sitting out life on its cold emply beaches My nature's to dwell in memories of past pain It's hard to bring forth instances of sunshine All around, bad memories fall like dark rain Pray I'll learn to forgive by life's deadline This poem is Copyright © dvtpdw Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
