Following Me-From the Inside

I try to escape From you there's no place to hide Following me inside I rub my eyes twice You walk through walls like a ghost How do I let go? Along comes silence And the prison that that brings Time to think of things Got to get on home Fell down the well beaten path Fallout aftermath If you can’t catch me Don't just stand there, walk away In cadence of gait Sinners and saints Struggles writhing in my head Are you really dead? All this in my head Old and new batt’ling in dreams Awake from what seems

Powerful. The pain is palpable. If this is derived from your own experience, then I am truly sorry for your loss. Excellent use of the Haiku format - it adds a kind of wordless finality to each stanza - almost like the experience is fragmented while trying to be whole. Well done.

It's autobiographical, also, I think we all feel this way when we experience loss. Thanks for your kind words Anna

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: Job 4:15
