Haunted Poem by Kris Poem Lover

Haunted today
by decades past
of words not said
and visions cast.

Of shadows and dreams
twisting and turning
gnawing to the surface.

Haunted by images
buried deep
into reality
they begin to seep.

Images dancing
again and again
I have no control
to make it end.

For 20 plus years
I have locked this away
why has it now
come out to play?

Haunted by what could have been
what might have been
what should have been.

Haunted by darkness
by stillness....
by closeness....

I want to go back
and do it again
do it right
and bring it to an end.

To finally say
what I have meant all along
I have loved you forever
and will till the dawn.
