Haunted Love

The sound of broken promises
Haunt my very soul
The chains of regret keep mocking me
By a spirit I can't console

Compassion cries out in silent screams
And doubt now feeds my fears
I'm drowning in this liquid pain
Made from a million tears

Silence filled with empty smiles
Second chances long since dead
Reprobate understanding
Filled with lonesome dread

Mistakes are now my only dream
They haunt me to my core
All my memories repossessed
I can't feel you anymore

This haunted love forever lingers
A stain my heart must wear
Everywhere my heart will look
Your spirit is waiting there

A nice sentiments you have expressed on Haunted love - quite self-introspective, Larry
