The Haunting

Just a little rock song

 

The Haunting

 

Even though

you are gone

Gone so long

It doesn’t stop

Each day you’re still with me

Though you’re not here

 

Moonlit nights

I’m alone

All alone

You’re my last thought

before I go to sleep

First when I wake

 

(chorus)

And in between

You still haunt my dreams

When will it stop?

Not in this life it seems

Come and kill this pain, I want to cry!

 

I hear you

whispering

In my ear

Singing my name

Begging me hold you close

But you’re not there

 

(chorus)

And every night

Seems just like yesterday

Though you are gone

You’re still a part of me

Come and take me home, I want to die!

 

(guitar bridge)

 

(chorus)

And in between

You still haunt my dreams

When will it stop?

Not in this life it seems

Come and kill this pain, I want to die!

 

(guitar solo)

 

And I’m still

Missing you

When will it stop?

Wow, such powerful words! As they said: "it's better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all".

[Vanesa Markovic]

Don't I know this feeling all too well!
It's the seed of most of my recent work.

When love is lost, taken from us by the cold hands of death, it is impossible to come to acceptance.
At least, it has been that way for me.
Perhaps we hold on to the pain so strongly, because it is the last shred of the person we have left.
Who knows.

A lovely piece about the haunting and painful reality of loss.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thank you for reading and really understanding this piece.

[Valkyrie Warrior]

This is very cool! I would love if you ever come up with cords and put it on the internet to hear what it sounds like!

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thank you. The music is in my head, but I don't know how to write it. If I could get someone to write the music and play it, then I think it would be cool to post it on the internet. I'm so pleased you liked it.

[Valkyrie Warrior]

I understand :) You are welcome

[Fran Marie]

beautifully sad and haunting poem/lyrics ..wanting to die and longing to be on the other side..

to join the loved one missed...well crafted

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to have you visit. I'm glad you liked it.

[J.Paddy]

So sad and yet worded so eloquently. Beautiful.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thank you so much!

Ache...depressing, but beautifully melancholy. It's the pain of heart-broken lovers and dreamers. Is it better to love and suffer the pain of losing someone Or is it better to remain numb and indifferent? To not feel can make you feel less than human too you know?

[Damien Thibodeaux]

It's always better to suffer the pain. Pain lets us know we are still among the living. But, of course, you already knew the answer. Thanks for reading and giving me your understanding words, my dear friend.

[Tina Kline]

I love this. Full of longing, pain and need. A ghost forever haunting.
Someones one wants to die to be with the one who has crossed over just to ease the pain of separation.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Tina, thank you so much for reading. You understand perfectly. It pleases me to know the reader can see my vision for this piece.

[Tina Kline]

You're very welcome!

[A. Amos]

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thank you so much for reading.

Do you write music? If so, I'd like to see the composition of this. If not, well, I'm getting that Evanescence feel.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Hi Anna, I'm so pleased you stopped by. Unfortunately, I do not write music. I don't know how. But sometimes I get these melodies in my head and write around them. I know what the music sounds like in my head, but I don't know how to get it out. I do love Evanescence and am influenced by the early stuff. Ben Moody and Amy Lee write from the same place I do. They do it better though.

[Brittany]

lol it was good

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thank you, Brittany!

[Brittany]

your welcome sweetie

[Rob Santana]

Damien, killer piece. What kinda of music should I put in my head to make these lyrics come to life? Let me know bro, compare it to a rock band.

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Thanks brother! Well, I was listening to Metallica, System of a Down and Rage Against the Machine this afternoon. Probably more of the first two and less of the latter. Thank you for visiting, my friend.

[Rob Santana]

Ohhhhhhh, ok f****n cool. Got it. Good job Brother!!!

[Damien Thibodeaux]

It starts slow and soft, rocks at the chorus parts, ripping guitar solo at the end, then the last 3 lines are soft.
