~Haunted Past~

I cover my eyes  

And try to sleep

I want to stop these awful lies

I want to be again in peace

And set everything aside.

My heart is trembling and beating fast

I can’t move, I can’t think, I can’t speak

I’m haunted by my own past

The only thing I can do is weep.

My body senses the approaching fear

I can’t escape anymore

So I stay and wait here

Knowing I have nothing to live for.

These whole years I searched for love

The only thing I learnt instead was hate

I was so painfully sad

So I promised this was a path I would never again take.

Therefore I am left here alone

With nothing to remind me of myself

I’m sitting here and mourn

Surrendered and overwhelmed
