Haunt Me No Longer
Haunt me no longer!
I have endured the worst.
I've known the terror.
I've lived!
I've survived
When those around me have fallen.
I know the guilt -
I live.
I hear, each night, the cries;
I live again their source.
I block my ears. I try
To outrun their accusing fingers' stretch
Lest their cold bones latch on to me
Now. Too late
Always too late
Ever
Forever
Too late
Haunt me no longer!
I love this poem! It's haunting (No pun intended) in a very very beautiful way. I especially love the line "To outrun their accusing fingers' stretch". You have a very nice piece here. Impressive.
