Haunted Mind

In the fog

Will o wisps

Leading me through the bog of my mind

Stuck - I’m stuck!

Before me - I see them

One by one.. Lights, dimming

Hopes, swimming - swirling around me

I see myself as a child

I’m sinking

I can feel the longing for something better

Being met with yet another

And another

And another

Regret

It’s tightening again

The invisible hand around my throat

Nails - digging into my skin

Garnets, trickling down my chest

When? When will this end?

A constant loop - tightening.. loosening.. death grip - release

Repeat

I fear the faint whisper

The eerie soft growl of the past

I should have known… relief just doesn’t last

“ You’re mature for your age “

You were in your late 20s

I was 6

i don't think i need to forgive and forget. i think i need to bash someone's head in with a hammer
