My heart is haunted can't you see?

There is nothing left inside of me.

Sometimes at night I cry myself to sleep,

But then again my thoughts run too deep.

For years I've tried to figure out this pain,

Only to realize there is nothing to gain.

My heart so cold and distant,

Seems I can only be happy for an instant.

My heart is haunted, and so flawed,

All I've accomplished today is that I haven't bawled.

I'm so dark and misdirected,

My haunted heart is so infected.

It's been beat-up and now so scarred,

Too bad it's something I can't discard.

It feels like torture, like I'm dying,

But all my life I've been surviving.

I can't lie to myself like I did before,

My heart won't get better, not anymore.

It's too haunted, too afraid,

Because too many times its been betrayed.

It feels broken and destroyed,

Suicidal is something I try to avoid.

Everyday is such a battle,

I've come to be so very fragile.

My haunted heart just sits there breathless,

No longer to me is it precious.

My heart is haunted can't you see?

 My heart is haunted for what seems like eternity.
