Haunted Poem by Alexander Foald

Spreading like webs in the dark corner
These feelings glued on all over my skin
I cannot be certain that someone could hear
The scream for help coming from my mouth

Fused with the night, my heart beats as the time goes by
Like everything else that crumbles, I started to lose faith
Sometimes it’s easier to accept what I was given to begin with
Running away won’t get me anywhere, thus I stand by and wait

But they would not let me go
Still act like a direction, driving me crazy
Even though I’ve been trying to erase their shadow
They keep walking the same pace behind me

I need rest
I am exhausted
Would they see me die of fear?
Would they keep following me?

This is a curse, something I cannot refuse to live with
Ignorance has been fed, and they’ve got all the time in the world
Days by days, years through years; until there’s no count anymore
They will never stop haunting me
