Haunted

Can you hear me?

I’m behind you.

You can’t see me…

But I can find you.

Footsteps echo down the hall,

Shadows dancing on the wall.

Cold hands reaching through the night,

Something’s watching out of sight.

Every mirror shows a face,

Every room, a cursed embrace.

Lock the doors and kill the light,

I’ll be waiting here tonight.

You hear a whisper, hear a scream,

Am I real or just a dream?

Try to run, but there’s no way,

I’m the ghost that chose to stay.

I’m haunted, haunted,

By the things that I’ve forgotten.

Hear my name inside the walls,

Feel me watching as night falls.

I’m haunted, haunted,

Every heartbeat leaves me wanting.

You can hide, but you can’t flee,

This house belongs to you and me.

Candles flicker, floorboards cry,

Blackened wings across the sky.

Something’s breathing by your bed,

Whispering the words I said.

The clock strikes twelve, the air turns cold,

A thousand secrets now unfold.

You thought the nightmare disappeared,

But I’ve been standing right here.

Don’t turn around…

Don’t make a sound…

I’m in the ceiling…

I’m underground…

You can’t escape me.

You can’t erase me.

The dead remember…

And now they know your name.

I’m haunted, haunted,

By the secrets we’ve forgotten.

Hear my laughter through the walls,

Feel the darkness as it falls.

I’m haunted, haunted,

Now your world is slowly rotten.

Close your eyes, but you will see…

The ghost was never haunting me.

Can you hear me?

I’m right here.

Happy Halloween, my dear…
