Haunted Covenant

My spirit will not haunt the mound,
where the soul of us does lay,
I will not cry for times long lost,
my heart to rest I will now pray.

I will not sit and anchor myself,
in the memory of what we had,
I will no longer chase those dreams that come,
I'm locking the door, but oh how sad.

How sad that you've not the strength,
to let live and live again,
how sad for the fact you've pushed me out,
that my humble heart was taken in.

I know that I've been true to you,
for centuries now on past,
and I swore to be your friend till the end,
but today, its quite hard to encompass.

My tears do threaten to spill upon my cheeks,
as I write these lines of pain,
I'm trying so hard to push them back,
that you not own me ever again.

I'll never it seems as long as I live,
understand the cruelty of human minds,
with the stroke of a keyboard and flick of a switch,
they walk away,
leaving pieces of others behind.

So this day it is I try to pledge,
even a covenant to cover me 'round,
that I will never allow the hurt again,
my spirit will not,
haunt your mound....
