My Haunting

Once Upon A Nightmare, After The Music Died,

Hearts Layed As Empty Rooms,& Silent Shadows Cried.

That Night, I Held My Dreams In My Arms As They Slowly Faded Away.

I Tried To Hold On To Them, But My Hopes Just Couldn't Stay.

It Broke My Heart To See It All Die Right Before My Eyes.

Now I'm Left Alone & Empty, There's Nothing Left To This Haunting Life.

Nothing Left To Smile for, To Want, To Need To Feel The Warmth.

It's All Gone Forever Now, It's Cold, It's Distant, It's Dark.

My Ghosts Will Stay Beside Me Though, For They Refuse To Leave,

It Hurts For Me To Realize, That They Are All That's Left Of Me.
