Even Here

I am haunted

by the ghost of my past.

 

Or maybe this is the afterlife.

 

Because my life is hell

and tomorrow looks like yesterday.

 

This existence

is not at all what I expected.

 

I sleep through the morning

because dreams are better than reality.

 

I hide in my room

too fearful to face the world.

 

But love will find me even here.
