Hey y’all, me again with yet another poem preview from Holding onto Stars!
This one’s called Ghosts & Shadows and it’s probably one of my faves so far…
Ghosts and shadows
Why won’t they go?
Another spirit left to haunt
My thoughts until the dawn
Another demon yet to chase
From the heart of which it stays
Ghosts and shadows
How much do they know?
I don’t know how much I can take
Of the souls unable to vacate
I don’t know why they chose me
Or why they drudge on so hopelessly
Ghosts and shadows
Why do they come so close?
If only I could see
Exactly what they need
If only they could cease
Their endless cruelty
Ghosts and shadows
How are they so cold?
Even when I try to stop them
They run their circles all over again
Even when they take a break
The pain they made will still remain
Ghosts and shadows
Why do they hurt their own?
Another spirit left to haunt
Though it won’t be here very long
Another demon yet to chase
Though my timing may be too late
Ghosts and shadows
How do their numbers grow?
But if I turn out the lights
They’ll have room to hide
But if I turn out the lights
They’ll be free from my mind
Ghosts and shadows
We’ll never be alone
I’ll be posting this one over on Wattpad tomorrow. Let me know how much or little you like it! ❤
