Haunted

My heart, my mind and my soul

all belong to you.

You can cut away the strings

but the binding still remains.

You are the ghost that haunts

me day and night, night and day,

with each breath I take.

 

I can never be set free

from these chains that hold

me to you.

Forever in this life and well into

the rest of them will I be yours.

You're the one that holds me

in your embrace even if you

don't want me.

 

Tears have flooded my eyes

even while acceptance floods

my heart.

The torn flesh will never heal

for I won't let it, you are mine

no matter what they say, no

matter what you do you still

belong to me.

 

YOU'RE the ghost that binds me

even when all the pain washes away,

Open bleeding wounds decorate

my body now, this is what you left me,

my heart, mind and soul will not heal

nor will my body.

I won't let it.  I will bury  the

pain deeply with in but I won't heal.

 

Like a rape this is what has become

of me,  the feeling that I am soiled in

some way which is why you don't want

me.  This is the truth is it not, this is the

way it will be, I am a dirtly little secret

you kept to be brushed away.  Gone now

is the contentment to be replaced with

the fear.  NO more will I want to live

in this world or even here.

 

HELP ME, SAVE ME, Don't let me go.

Can't you see I am worth something

that is what I am told.  You told me

the same once upon a time, now I am

just a dirtly little secret to be swept away!!

I WILL NEVER BE FREE AS LONG AS YOU'RE THE
GHOST THAT HAUNTS ME!!!
