Haunted

I am haunted by ghosts

ghosts of things
ghosts of words
ghosts of hurts
ghosts of those I once loved
ghosts of those I still do

they come at me
each one squawking
vying for my attention

ghosts of those I have hurt
ghosts of those I couldn't help
ghosts of those who hurt me
ghosts of those I lost

they whisper to me at night
they visit me in my dreams
they hold me in their unrelenting grasp

ghosts of those who lied
ghosts of those who promised
ghosts of those who whispered
ghosts of those who giggled

I am haunted by ghosts
