"haunted"

By haunted

 

i'll be there in the silence
tucked in the dark of my room
hiding in the corner
as death is in bloom

knees hold my head
arms caress my knees
locked in this embrace
that no one ever see's

i hide my weary eyes
when i hear them come near
i can't leave this corner
paralyzed in fear

their hideous and rotting
their decay stays the same
and they whisper to me
they whisper my name

i've bruised myself to leave them
but, i'm forced to this wall
so i stay in the corner
as death is on call

with no hope to escape
my cataracting eyes
the sores and the scabs
are attracting the flies

these shadows they fester
spirits calling my name
i can't make it go away
over and over...
every fucking day

i look at these killers
with fear for my soul
starvation, thirst and fear
has taken it's toll

i don't belong to these shadows
that know me by name
even in death 
the torments a game

so i fester in this corner
tucked away with the fear
and choke on the maggots
with the shadows so near
