She left
They took her
No tears
Just screams
No ghost
No hauntings
No death
Just screams
Hear that?
The muffled,
the quiet
Just screams
Now silent
Now silent
...
Haunt me
Leave me
Come back
But please,
Please stop
the screams
She left
Torn away
Come back
My phantom
Heart beats
Small smile
My phantom's
Still here

Okay. This was really weird... I wrote this thinking of my inner child. (I know, I know, creepy way of writing about the part inside that is supposed to be filled with innocence and joy.) So, I will give a brief explanation...
Self-pitying my spotted past. Melodramatic feeling of present situations, out of my control, tearing away my inner child. Having a hard time coming to terms that life isn't gumdrops and lollipops.

Nice!
Thought-provoking and slightly scary. But then so is life as long as you're out living it. I like the way this one reads. I can imagine it as whispers and then screams. -
o.o Enjoyable. Heehee. I liked this. I take you used the prompt Phantoms? Lol. I like the idea behind it though. I understand, then again, partially don't. It makes me think, And I enjoy that.. Thank you for entering, and giving me something to ponder about. heehee.
