Prisoner

I am a prisoner trapped in my own mind
just me, my demons and the sands of time
every hour a millenia, everyday an eternity
and I seem to be the only one who can rescue me
living in darkness and dying in hell
but on the surface everything is swell
mentally tortured and soon you'll all see
but for now it's just the sands of time, my demons and me...

Why Are You Haunting Me?

Why are you haunting me?

Just when I think that I have moved on with the living, you come creeping up out of your lonely grave only to stalk me. You didn't want me when what we had was alive and well and I mourned you until I went numb. Now I'm forced to relive the past and think about the passion we shared between us.

The hot nights and cool days seem like so long ago. Now as I sit here viewing this message from the dead, I long to caress your soft brown hair and gaze into those soft blue eyes of yours. I miss the lively person that you were and I wonder about the person you've become in this afterlife. But you are dead what we had is dead.

I'm not sure what the cause of death is; murder, suicide, natural causes, but I know it is dead. No time to mourn you any longer. I know we both must move on with our separate lives. So why do I hear faint whispers of you calling my name. Why do I catch shadows of you through the corners of my eyes. Why are you haunting me???

Better yet, why can't I give up the ghost???
