Haunted

The stories are true

Im haunted... are you?

Are you followed by the ghosts of your past?

Are you torturedby the things you lost?

Are you beat down my decisions you made?

Cause I am...

My mind is full of those ghosts.

Full of those corpses that creep in the shadows.

The darkness casting doubt upon their graves.

Though i could've sworn i buried them a long time ago.

Or maybe i didn't... I dont know.

They've crawled their way.

Tooth and nail.

Back to the surface.

And this time im too weak.

To block out their purpose.

I feel their tendrils wrap around me.

The pain in my eyes.

Its too much to bare now.

I can feel them pull me under.

Maybe I'll rest my eyes and let those demons wander.

Demons wandering...

They wander deeper...

Their voices are sweet, hypnotic.

Tounges sharp as a knife.

Like the knife pressed against my wrist.

God why... thoughts raxe through ny mind.

My hands shake.

They call to me, reaching for my hand.

Their black claws wrapping around the knife.

Come with us... we'll save you...

With a deep breath, they pull.

With a deep breath, its gone.

With those words, I lost.

About the Creator

Thomas James

I've been writing stories since the 6th grade so this is mostly things that didn't make final drafts or just the thoughts that find their way into my head and onto my notes app.

So grab a warm drink, a comfy blanket, and stay awhile! :)
