Haunt

Haunt

Empty faces smiling brightly,
go their way and pass by me.
I stand amongst them invisible,
trying in vain to reach out.
I reach for them but Im not able.
Belief escapes and I fill with doubt.

A stranger in a foreign land,
I wander about most aimlessly.
I touch my head, blood's on my hand,
in my eyes, and I cant see-
I desperately seek sanctuary,

I find no place to lie down-
What happened? Did I drown?
It's cold and my lips are blue.
I can't take this, not without you.
I've left you behind in a warm place.
Oh what I'd give to see your face.

My heart once raced, but now is silent.
Quiet now, just for a moment.
What was that could you hear?
I strain my neck to look beyond.
It's as I thought, it's as I feared.
That's my body, in that shallow pond.

Awesome poem!

"My heart once raced, but now is silent.
Quiet now, just for a moment.
What was that could you hear?
I strain my neck to look beyond.
It's as I thought, it's as I feared.
That's my body, in that shallow pond."

I really like this part of it, and helps me understand why this poem is called, "Haunt." Because of the haunting tone that it has. Keep up the good work.
