Haunted I Am Poem by Lesa MRK

Haunted I am
By you-
By the thought of you...
Though you are not dead
Yet far away you are
And I am trapped.

That day you left
I was abandoned here; alone
Watching you gradually fade
To become a tiny black dot
In the blue of the horizon

Why did you leave me here?
Haunted in dreams
Unable to leave
Eternally bound
To the memory
Where you caged my soul

Here in a lonely place
Like a million haunting dreams
I walk dark halls
And whisper this heartache
Yearning, yet you do not return
To set me free.

Alone I am
To face the images
The anguish
Of yet another nightmare
Sunlight coming through broken glass
And the memory of your arms
Won't hold me
For it does not shield the endless sorrow

I understand why you left...
Why you had to walk away
Caging me here
Behind a thousand locked doors
Of this fortress.

But I locked up my soul for you,
My very heart.
So why can you not return,
Breaking down these doors;
A haunted heart finally to be
Set free.
