Games With Ghosts

Games With Ghosts

A Poem by schnickythep

Every new dawn brings with it 
More problems for the day
After night's cold silence
Is dead and gone away
Still haunted by the demons
You created in your head
Driving all your thoughts away
You think you're better off dead
Games with ghosts in the dead of night
When the light in your eyes is the only light
Haunted by the silence 
Of a million closed doors
Running screaming in the rain
Realize we're all insane
No one wants to take the blame
So lock away what's yours
Just cant take the waiting
For a sign that never comes
Living lies fear in the eyes
Of your daughters and your sons
Only taught with falsehoods
So bite the hand that feeds
When anger turns to loneliness
Then come and scream with me
Games with ghosts in the dead of night
When the light in your eyes is the only light
Haunted by the silence 
Of a million closed doors
Running screaming in the rain
Realize we're all insane
No one wants to take the blame
So lock away what's yours
All the skeletons in your closet
They are coming back to life
And the past that you kept hidden
Seems to stab you like a knife
Depressed and overwhelmed
Cause there's nothing you can do
Through no fault of your own
Seems like they're all after you
Games with ghosts in the dead of night
When the light in your eyes is the only light
Haunted by the silence 
Of a million closed doors
Running screaming in the rain
Realize we're all insane
No one wants to take the blame
So lock away what's yours
