They Follow
 

there's no escaping
the ghost of you

the memories
that are like my shadows
stalking...
haunting...
...my every step

i try to run but they follow
and even when i stop, and hide
i am caught in a swallow
seems like only in darkness
that my soul would rest
that i could see
the stars and the sun shining
a promise of life in the darkness of death

but i guess i should smile
herculean it may seem
amidst this flood of pain
that rivals even that of noah

that though i am lost in this ocean of despair
it is you who have lost..

...me
