| Haunted Eyes |
 |
| hollow beating of my heart wakes the sleeping night truth hidden behind a mask all are blind to hidden lies I bear this burden of blood my attempt at salvation frozen out of fear my strength to fight died with my spirit's freedom I see through haunted eyes empty from days frozen in darkness I bear the burden of love lost alone in the forest of despair thoguhts of nothing haunt me and hold me in this cage of life and death freedom and slavery smoke floating through chaos passing through the folds of fear dreams of faith in the unknown searching for answers to make the face shown dark of night starts shine light of distant suns burning bright for other souls tofuel their fights while I lie down too tired to die ghosts of my past haunting my present screaming for redemption heaven sent give me my lost salvation hold me up help me stand save me from my immortal past my immortal fears to never return allow me to live and my fire to burn |
| This poem was written while I was sitting on the back porch of my house, listening to Evanescence. I also used word association to get the words together. |
