Forgotten Past

They come at night,unbidden,
these demons of the dark.
Scarey,shifting,spooky forms,
that brings me from my sleep.

They slither over the walls,
they creep along the halls;
these dark and empty halls,
that i seldom visit.

They creep in unawares,
they leap without warning;
these demons of my past,
that brings hurt,pain, and tears.

They sneak in at night,
past all of my defenses;
they bring the past to light,
the past i want forgotten.
