Haunted

My heart feels like the softest flower
There’s something beating within
It’s as subtle as a raindrop in a thunder shower
It’s a scary feeling

It’s as though an eye is watching me
Yet no one looks my way
It’s as though my heart is frozen
And I don’t even know why

Why does my heart beat so fast
When there seems to be no cause
Why do I feel so glad
When my pain can’t get any worse

It’s not a simple shallow feeling
It’s not an easy thought
Though I find that I am dealing
My every breath is caught

The walls are closing in on me
The roof is crumbling down
The floor is disappearing
I’m trying not to drown
