Haunted

­­Haunted

 

In bed, I lie awake

Staring at the ceiling

Wondering about my mistake

And still kept on believing.

 

I tried to close my eyes

And sleep with the wind that hums

But all I see are lies

And the knife that soon comes.

 

I held it against my hand

Believing I did it on purpose

Pulled my hair with a band

And left the door unclose.

 

I open my eyes and sighed

Knowing it was all but a stupid lie

I know that I almost died

But kept on tormenting those alibi.

 

I was dragged back into the present

And was leaving the footsteps of the past

Sooner I will be caught by the department

And I know this time wouldn’t last.

 

My hands are smeared with blood

Not mine but the man that I killed

I washed it and now it felt odd

Soon, I know, I will be billed.

 

Surprised, I hear the sound of the siren

Rounding on the corner of the street,

I know now, to my family, I’m a burden

So now I do not know how to compete.

 

The memories always kept me haunted

Flashing unsettled crimes of the past,

Looking back on where it all started

Is like a nightmare that will never last.

 

Now I stand alone in this crowded room

With people haunted by the experience of their lives,

Every shadow I see, always loom

And with the blink of an eye I see them thrive.
