Haunted

Thoughts consume my attention 
With no cure for such an affliction 
I am unable to sleep 
Without you haunting my dreams 

Cold chills and darkness run deep 
Within the promise I had hoped to keep 
Following me throughout my days 
As I slowly, inside, waste away 

A vow to love forevermore 
Sanctioned by forgotten lore 
Accompanying me in this life 
Leaving pain, destruction and strife
