Authors note: I'm referring to the song: "Hallelujah"

To this day

That song haunts me

You haunt me

As tears well up

Threatening to spill over

I look into the distance

A never-ending horizon

What did you say to me

That killed me so?

My heart now shattered

I’m now broken

I told myself,

Everyday,

That you were different

That you loved me

For who I was

I guess I was wrong

To this day

Whenever I hear

That beautiful song

The tears spring to my eyes

It haunts me,

You haunt me

Nightmares now a daily occurrence

As I feel myself

Falling out of control

My false mask

Now failing me

Emotionally numb

Though I try to find

Peace and light

I put on a smile

Pretending I’m fine

To this day

When that song

Begins to play

The memories hit me

Tears now well up

Threatening to spill over

Memories always haunt me

What was it

About you that I fell for?

I was wrong

About who I thought you were

What did you call me again?

Memories haunt me

Nightmares now fill my dreams

To this day

As that song begins to play

The sweet words

Filling my ears

I can’t help, but recall

As the memories play again

Was I foolish

For loving you?

Was I foolish

For thinking you were the one?

That voicemail,

Your voice, those words

Laced with venom

Filled with hatred

I now hear

As I drift off to sleep

I wake up screaming,
