Haunted

Haunted by the memories

Of a distant past

Screaming inside my mind

How long can this disease last?

 

Lingering in the darkness

Frozen, inside this heart

Numbness takes over

Trying not to fall apart

 

Demons whisper,

Hanging to life by a thread

Awakened in the nightmare

Wickedness in my head

 

Terrorized by memories,

Lost in the thought of you

Vulnerable to the nothingness

For what you've put me through.

 

Your prescence still lingers,

Translucent in the dark

My heart waits for you

To make your next mark.

 

Strawberry gashes,

Pain in a razor blade

Haunted,

Wishing for the ghosts to fade.

Lingering in the darkness
Frozen, inside this heart
Numbness takes over
Trying not to fall apart

Exactly the way I feel when I have unexpected memories of my late husband, whom I loved dearly. I love the flow of this piece. Wonderfully penned. Great job.

Out of site - out of mind.
The problem is, it takes time for images which were burnt into our eyes to disappear.
This poem comes from pain, and it colors that pain with blackness.
I see a pattern here - this resembles the subjects of your last few poems.
Is it just something that goes inside your head, or is there a seed of truth in this soil?

This piece truly fits your nom de plume. Beautifully and darkly penned. Congratulations! Haunted has been named as the Work of the Week at the Vicious Circle group!

To dwell in limbo, waiting....expecting the inevitable, is truly haunting.

Excellent write.

I love the term Strawberry gashes. Any time I hear it, it makes me think of this band I really enjoy called Jack Off Jill's. This piece was darkly beautiful and i always love when you allow your words to speak so strongly as hey lead from the page and paint such vivid scene in my mind's eye. The depth in which you dwell and pull your emotional visions is something I love to read. You are always such a pleasure to read and allow to take my thoughts to places deep with inside my own self.


Great Job!!!!!
