Haunted

Through sunken, tired eyes, I gaze at my reflection. Through hollow expectations, I seek some small connection. A broken man, less than whole, I wander a crooked path. I wonder what I could have done, to hide from destiny's wrath. Along the way, I lost myself, to shallow, selfish causes. And found myself in solitude, counting all my losses. I spent my life in mourning, a fleeting memory. I cast my coins in troubled water, and found there only misery. Betrayed by my own heart, I fell into this lifeless place. Trapped within this darkness, haunted by my disgrace.
