HAUNTED MEMORIES

Hid in darkness

While people stop by

Peering from a distance

Wondering what secret hides

Or if ghost sit alone

Or Peers back at them

People search for clues

From broken glass

And overgrown vines

Secrets, no one would understand

In this world of judgement

Looking for someone to blame.
