Thoughts

These haunted dreams which I hold dear are ghosts within my mind Reminding me of better days in another place and time I can't escape the tortured past with all these vivid thoughts And everything explodes inside from all the pain it's wrought I've tried to leave them in the past but failed another try So I embrace the hurt and pain with tears I hate to cry I've asked the Lord to take my life but still I roam these halls A shell of who I use to be these memories on the wall So all that I look forward to is finally being free To take my final breath I feel that's all that's left for me
