In shadows deep, where anguish dwells,
A girl's lament, her heartache tells.
No ghosts of old, no spirits dread,
Yet haunted still, by the living instead.

Within her soul, a tragic plight,
Memories dance, in endless night.
Loved ones gone, their presence lost,
In timeless whispers, they pay the cost.

Silent echoes of voices dear,
Caress her mind, awaken her fear.
Their laughter once, like gentle rain,
Now echoes haunting, a bittersweet strain.

Visions of faces, worn and gray,
Torn asunder, in life's cruel fray.
Their eyes, once bright with love's embrace,
Now etched with sorrow, eternally encased.

Friends and lovers, torn away,
Left her adrift, in a sea of dismay.
Their whispers haunt her every breath,
Remnants of life, stolen by death.

The living carry a weight untold,
Their presence, a story yet unfold.
Each cherished soul, a specter's plea,
To let them rest, and set them free.

But she, the haunted, cannot escape,
The ties that bind, the souls agape.
Their memories cling, like shadows deep,
Their pain and love, forever seep.

No refuge found in the dead's embrace,
The living's touch, a relentless chase.
Haunted by the ones she once adored,
Her heart, an open wound, forever sore.

In twilight's grip, she finds her plight,
A haunting truth, in starless night.
Not horror's realm, but pain's cruel sting,
She's haunted by the living, a mournful ring.
