haunted

the stillness of the night
plagues me, betrays me

the fire in my soul
scorches me, torches me

the aching of my heart
bleeds me, condemns me

my tattered spirit
depletes me, regresses me

the empty pillow
reminds me, haunts me

i sometimes think that there is a ghost or ghosts (metaphorically) that haunt us when we are in our quite moments.

Is yours a more "real" ghost -- as in a ghost of one who has passed on?
