Echoes of a Haunted Heart

In the twilight shadows, memories fade,

Packing up my heart, I'm unafraid.

I’m unraveling this life, piece by piece,

Driving down this road, searching for release.

The echoes of the past, they whisper and howl,

Trying to drown out the demons’ growl.

Every item I touch pulls me back in,

A relic of a heart where the damage has been.

Those moments seemed real, now they feel so wrong,

Every memory is bruised, yet I’m trying to be strong.

Goodbye to shadows, I’m breaking the mold,

Leaving behind a story too bitter, too cold.

Donating ghosts to a thrift store muse,

Giving them time to find better views.

I gave away the cup that I once called a gift,

Haunted by the warmth that’s now only a rift.

Sixty bucks for a promise that turned to decay,

But I’m letting it go — I’m finding my way.

All our memories sit in that dumpster with pride,

I’m reclaiming my heart, no longer will I hide.

Pulling away slowly, I’m dusting the pain,

Clearing out the remnants of all the disdain.

Goodbye to shadows, I’m breaking the mold,

Leaving behind a story too bitter, too cold.

Donating ghosts to a thrift store muse,

Giving them time to find better views.

I hear the Gremlins, dancing in my mind,

Every little whisper, it’s so cruel, unkind.

But I’ll gather my courage, let the memories be,

Each step is a victory, I'm finally free.

With every mile I drive, I’m shedding the past,

Find me reborn from the shadows I've cast.

The road ahead beckons, and I know I must go,

I’m reclaiming my life, this I finally know.
