Haunting

Chilled nights filled with memories from the past 
Though not so long ago it seems it was
Lying in bed every night holding these feelings
That I try to fight but they just won’t budge

Like theirs a burden that I’m carrying
Like someone some where’s holding a grudge
That feeling of power that keeps me up 
For hours is one that has been misjudged

At times I dread being alone with no one 
Around because its seem that no one wants me
And this is a feeling that connects to you
And it always tends to haunt me

A feeling that tears me up inside and continually 
Pokes at me and always wants to taunt me
At night can’t get a decent sleep
Because it always sneaks up on me

It’s like this is following me constantly
Not looking to change its path
Some how you attached yourself to me
And I’m adding it up but just don’t get the math

Because see we left each other so long ago 
And thought it was suppose to be
But on a basis lately you have cross my mind
And at times seem to come over me

But how do you cast a feeling out that you don’t want 
But you want what makes you feel that feeling
And all it really does is hurt you
So where is the room for your healing?

And I guess the time you take to love someone 
It takes double the time to fall out 
And to this day I am still dealing
With when it was you walked out
