Dec 2015
I lay in bed and my ghosts surround me
A synchronized waltz in full swing
I bid them to go, to leave
They in turn look and laugh soundlessly    

My past it is haunting my mind
Like a movie playing before me    
taunting, leering, scorning me
How I long for it to stay where it is, behind

Faces with soulless eyes reveal themselves
Reminding me the wrongs I've done
They beg me to instead of hurt, help
Help though I cannot give, i have none

Waltz after waltz, face after hollow face
scream after silent scream!
I wish they would just let me be, leave

I wish this were nothing but a dream
I am afraid though that hell I am in
Again, upon a dulled black throne
After all, I have been corinated their *Queen
the ghosts will never leave.....
