The Haunting

I wake up in a room surrounded by blackness
With a bottle of pills to numb the growing sadness
My head is swarming between memories and regrets
And false illusions in the background of her silhouette
Try to occupy myself from going mad
Closing my eyes in hope the nightmare will stray
But my Juliet isn’t here to save my ass now
She won’t spare my from her banshee howl
Like poison flowing through these veins
This sickness has overcome the senses
The numbness ensues with a cold touch
My heart is left shattered in my stomach
An all-time low for this fucking loser
I just want to break free from this bad dream
Escape the thought of you and your presence
Except for a picture of you and someone else
I have not seen your face in quite a while
The smile and soft words from your mouth
A soothing caress in your arms is like a drug
That I’d gladly overdose on time and time again
As your ghost just passes through my outer being
I wish to live behind closed lids, my false reality
And let my dreams realign my inner sanity
Instead I awake alone. Laying in this dark room
Knowing your better off alone without me
