    Haunted

    Why do you stare at me

    With  eyes dark and empty

    Why do you call my name

    With a voice full of shame

    How much longer can you linger there

    Laughing at me without any care

    Full of deceit and lies

    This has become your life

    Why can't you just leave

    Please,just let me have some peace

    This glass I break time and again

    Finally now the shards they peirce your skin

    I feel free almost pure

    I settled the final score

    Go away back through Hell's door

    And now eternally haunt me no more.

    Memory lingers long after the danger is gone. Sometimes the most difficult thing we'll ever do is try to ignore those ghosts which we wish so hard to forget. You've conveyed that brilliantly here, and you've earned yourself another 10...what, you're surprised?

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
