Haunted

I hear it in the wind,
I feel it all around me,
I feel it inside of me,
The wind's whispers.

I hear it again ringing in my ears,
The wind whispers to me a word,
It says not a mere hollow word,
It whispers an all too familiar name.

Stay away, you soulless demons,
Leave me be in my own serenity,
Nine years since I slept in peace,
I beg you, leave me be as I am.

I still hear the name in the earth's breath,
As I cover my ears with my shaking hands,
As I hide in the dark corners of the house,
I still hear the name in the earth's breath.

I must not break tonight,
I must survive this ordeal,
I cannot break once more,
I still hear her name ringing.

The wind still howls her name,
I struggle to keep my reserve,
I struggle to maintain my sanity,
I struggle to survive this night.

The sun has finally risen in the east,
Surely the wind would subside now,
I released my hands from my ears,
No, it's there, I still hear her name.
