Skat A Poet Dramatic Monologue

The Haunting

The haunting
In the creepiness
When there’s no light
Waking up every moment 
In the middle of the night
You have not noticed
All the haunting all around
The harder I try to ignore it
The stronger it gets inside of me
This haunting makes no sound
It is something you do not see
With belief, it’s around
Since the day I found 
All those secrets you hide
It’s more than inside my head
Now I sleep with my eyes open wide
The haunting exist even when I’m not in bed
I can count each and every single sheep
Still, this haunting won't let me sleep
You said you are sorry
Why is my own mind, taunting me?
This is not paranoia
The haunting
Takes place only when I’m awake

The vision of you won't let me be
These shadows are real, not fake
With all these images only I see
No matter what decision I make
Waking to the haunting for so long
The haunting of you with her
With the knowledge, you did me wrong

S.K.A.T.

Paul Callus July 21, 2015 at 3:52 PM Knowing that you have been cheated on IS a haunting experience! Doubts will fill the mind, and there is also the question WHY. But why kill yourself by thinking and worrying about it all the time? There is only one solution...to accept the situation or else move on! hugs // paul

Lynette Chachere May 8, 2010 at 7:25 PM this is a kind of deep poem.are you talking about not your husband, but directly speaking of the man you loved.if so,it sounds so much from your heart.you say he did you wrong because he loved you, and only him and you knew, maybe more than his wife.then your write is nothing but the truth that so many chose to pass by,its a sad thing really and thanks for the kind comment, i enjoy reading your poems too, i think you are an awesome poet friend, as well as an awesome woman who stays true!-Always
