Haunting Me
I’m haunted.
Not by ghosts
Or spirits of the dead
Not from corpses
Decaying in the ground
But by words that were said
Out of anger.
Words that had intended to hurt
And they never go away
Once they are said
They’re forever there
Echoing in my mind
Beating me up inside
The truths you had uttered
And the replies I was afraid
To mutter
Or how you lied to me
And made me hope
For something
So far from possible
Quite the opposite of the truth
You left me with a shivering feeling
Of haunted words
Lied to me
Of haunted truths
Spat at me
Repeated
On replay deep inside
Narrating my everyday life
All I want
Is to forget
The awful things you said to me
You’ve altered my thoughts-
My life-
My feelings
And I will be forever haunted
By the words that will never die
They wont rot in a grave
Pass over to heaven
Or burn in hell
They will live-
Undying-
Unforgiving
Haunting me.
