Haunted Darkness

Dark

twisted hallways

buried deep

seen only

when half asleep

memories

of horror

rage

pain

begin to stir

begin to stretch

grave worms clawing to the surface.

Walk in a fugue

diseased mind

any out

any way

running

never sure why

from what

only searching

seeking

escape

haunted nightmares.

Grievous pain

knife wounds

stabbed tip

over

over

over

digging hole

to feel

if only for a while.

Bruised eyes

sleep

in death

in life

monsters wait

demons

vampires

no retreat.

This is life

abused

mistrusted

alone

no friends are near

endless screams

pummel

broken skin

anything to stop feeling

anything to eradicate……

haunted memories.
