HAUNTED


HAUNTED

Haunted.
Hollowed
From inside
Out.

The mind
Is the
One
Who knows 
What
Happened.

The heart
And soul
Want
To 
Shut it
Out.

The eyes
Are
Alert but
Tired
Of constant
Vigilance!

In how 
Many ways
Can the
Voice 
Ask for 
Sanctuary?

Safety
From what
Was
Done
That which 
Is
Burned
In a memory.

The moving
Picture
Is frozen
In time.
The present,
The past
Converge
Into one.

In the
Mind,
There's 
No difference.
It's haunted!
