Haunted

I fight the words of inner voice
The truth I feel that shivers to move
The rays of sun no warmth to feel
Scared to tell the past of real 

Hands around collar so stiff 
Shake away the left and right
Flicker of lamp no saying goodnight 
Back in black no snow of white 

Movement of still invisible times 
To know it happened sign of crime 
Your face is there no eyes to see
Memories held blank forever keep 

Screech the fox prowls at dark
Legs to tremble runs so fast
Home to safe comfort to feel 
Leaves to fall of times to steal

Sickness I thought inside my blood
No scars to see just mind to taught 
Hidden so far no feelings of free
Little not seen ghost to haunt
