The Haunting

The haunting In the creepiness When there’s no light Waking up every moment In the middle of the night You have not noticed All the haunting all around The harder I try to ignore it The stronger it gets inside of me This haunting makes no sound It is something you do not see With belief, it’s around Since the day I found All those secrets you hide It’s more than inside my head Now I sleep with my eyes open wide The haunting exist even when I’m not in bed I can count each and every single sheep Still, this haunting won't let me sleep You said you are sorry Why is my own mind, taunting me? This is not paranoia The haunting Takes place only when I’m awake The vision of you won't let me be These shadows are real, not fake With all these images only I see No matter what decision I make Waking to the haunting for so long The haunting of you with her With the knowledge, you did me wrong S.K.A.T.

Knowing that you have been cheated on IS a haunting experience! Doubts will fill the mind, and there is also the question WHY. But why kill yourself by thinking and worrying about it all the time? There is only one solution...to accept the situation or else move on! hugs // paul

That kind of haunting is difficult to exorcize.

this is a kind of deep poem.are you talking about not your husband, but directly speaking of the man you loved.if so,it sounds so much from your heart.you say he did you wrong because he loved you, and only him and you knew, maybe more than his wife.then your write is nothing but the truth that so many chose to pass by,its a sad thing really and thanks for the kind comment, i enjoy reading your poems too, i think you are an awesome poet friend, as well as an awesome woman who stays true!-Always

I really enjoyed reading this poem. The thing with men like that, they usually get paid back for their infidelity, and better men come along!

Good write for the Betrayal contest as an entry.. check it out under "contests" .. luv can be brutal to the emotions but there is someone better coming along to soothe the hurt... and the haunting... enjoyed Irma... luv.. "Sweetheart"
