[hometext] => A man haunted by ghosts.
[bodytext] => In the darkness of his mind he sees them. They crouch around corners They hide in shadows. He's afraid to close his eyes Afraid they will touch him Afraid they are seeking him out. The undead the spirits the ghosts Gone before their time awaiting revenge on the living He hears them on the stairs Sees them in the shower's mist Feels them in the chill of the air He can hear them whisper laugh breathe He feels mad insane crazy He's losing touch on reality Doesn't know where the living ends and the dead begins He notices things are out of place books moved pictures askew clothes gone He knows they are watching He has what they don't Life They want it back They'll take his His sanity His calm He hesitates to tell to ask for help to beg them to leave It's life but it's lonley He's created this hell The ghosts of now are the ghosts of his own creation Without them he's alone. That frightens him more than anything.
