The Haunting

Take small steps in the quiet of my heart's beat
Silently, those dark and secret sorrows scream
My flesh is cold, despite the heat of this day
I can't explain why I care as my spirit is slain
There is nothing anyone can do to free me now
Only by forgiving my ghosts, they'll leave now
So I do, while I'm broken, I am still able to hope
So I treat others better, knowing that I had a choice
Be free, fade from view, whisper to someone new
Tell yourself that you're ready and know the truth
These are my last words, I'm finished, all done
The past is over, the rest of my life is just begun
