Words I never said

 

So many ghosts,

filtering out the sunlight

and replacing

it with shades of grey.

Every passing day,

a past moment plays

like a song on repeat,

little by little,

the beat

forcing my 

brittle mind to

fall under its spell.

 

I'm haunted by

so many things.

Demons of mine,

they whine in

the darkness that

being left behind brings,

left in this world,

with half my mind away

being chased

down ghastly highways.

 

Haunted by the way the clock

creaks a longing, heavy tick tock.

Always waiting for the bell to ring,

but it never hits the hour mark.

Haunted by the thoughts

in my own head,

bringing me cold sweats

with their insidious 

creeping dread.

 

The ghosts 

of memories

follow me every day.

The ghosts of words

I never got to say,

they won’t leave me be,

always trembling with dread,

they will forever haunt me,

the words I never said.
