Haunted

by Drew Gold   Aug 30, 2005


Creeping my way down the ditch that I've dug..
sleeping away all my cares and concerns
in my little hole thats so comfortably snug

feel all the waste as its poured upon my throne
in all of my haste i never stopped to realize
how utterly dependent i am on being alone

you could never hurt me half as much as i could
u never had even a small chance
nor have you ever even really understood

everything i once had is now ripping away
melting into silence as my footsteps stray
nothing can help me,.. I'm just slipping away..

cognitive dissonance tears up this feeling
personal differences make it seem wrong
and keep the wall around what I'm concealing

feel my fire as it begins to burn..
from this hell i might never return
but as of right now thats not my concern

i gotta think about whether i need anything
and what it is that i wanted
i have to remind myself to stop remembering
thoughts that leave me haunted

    Ok, i have to say its not one of your best poems the ending was kinda off and
    everything i once had is now ripping away
    melting into silence as my footsteps stray
    nothing can help me,.. I'm just slipping away
    sounds kinda forced. Also the vocabulary is not as complex as in some of your other poems.
    But i still loved it.it was deep and emotional, and i put you in my favorates cause you have never writtin anything i havn't liked. i would give it a 4/5 great job. and if you get a chance check out A Brighter Future, it my newest poem. oh and sorry i want you to check out so many of my poems its just your like the only person that i can get honest feedback from but this is my last one, promise!

    Now this I really like. Deep. And what do you know, you expanded my vocabulary. :)

    "i have to remind myself to stop remembering
    thoughts that leave me haunted"

    ^ That goes for me as well.

    Your word choice creates the mood well...very nice work.

    Awesome poem, I really enjoyed this piece. The flow was good and your word choice made it unique. Deep thoughts written very well.

    Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. "Wouldst" isn't a word, but it was common in shakespear's time which is why I used it. I felt it added to the fairy tale feel of the story. Thanks for your suggestions. Keep writing!
