Haunted Mind

My heart is not broke

But is dangling by a thread

My anguish haunts me

Deep within my head

My soul is on fire

But my breath is shallow

Taking the next

Could be my last

I scream with terror

Only to see darkness

Yet my room is fully lit

I cry tears of sorrow

I die just a little bit

I am lost but

I'm not

Yet I can't be found

I sleep next to the hungry wolf

And never make a sound.

So, here I am

Alone to a degree

My anguish, my soul and me.
