My Kind of Horror

My Kind of Horror

You said you are scared of ghosts

You whined, you wept

You screamed out your voice

But dear, I am not scared of those.

You said you can’t watch horror films

For fear that ghosts would haunt your dreams

And yet I told you quietly

That dear, that kind of horror is not real.

Horror is not scary ghosts

Nor monsters you see on TV shows

Those myths they told us when we were young

Are far away from reality.

Horror is a shaken faith

A sudden death with no finesse

Horror is the sudden turn

Of life events that’d make you gloom.

Horror is when you sleep

And wake up with face covered by tears

Caused by dreams of memories

when you were weak, young, and a victim.

Horror is the sudden return

Of past people you wished were in urn

But then they haunt, knock on your door

To take back, to hurt you, to destroy your soul.

Horror is screaming without voice

Or crying alone in a dark road

Horror is holding onto someone

Only to let you go and wander alone.

Horror is to believe

When people said they will not leave

Only to turn their backs and walk away

From you who stupidly held onto your faith.

Horror is when you thought that He

Would hold your hands and let you be

In his warm hugs and warm arms

Only to leave you cold, lifeless, and dull.

Horror is to suffer

Without anyone who would care

Nor anyone who would listen

From stories of your endless pain.

Horror is your thoughts

Haunting you in every road

Thoughts of bleeding, dying

Your soul crying.

Horror is when you already tried your best

Yet, you ended up with failing grades

The day when skies have fallen for

People heard the death of a bachelor.

Horror is the pain, those tears

From your mother's

Those eyes that is caused by you

The day you made yourself gone from this world.

Horror is to hear about someone's death,

A person you have just met

And yet you did not even think

How he has thought of dying then.

Horror is what she felt

As she spoke those words

and thought of you,

Of the day she had broken up with you.

Horror is when people leave

Horror is when you lose who you need

Horror is when someone you thought would save you

Has shifted direction, walked away from you.

Horror is the hurting, the pain

Caused by people, who left you in vain

Horror is to ask yourself

To ask the reason of your existence.

Horror is when you are exhausted already

Horror is when you felt dying already

Horror is when you're dead already.

Horror is to be gone from life already.

Horror is separation

Horror is the end

Horror is when there is no goodbyes

Between two friends before falling apart.

Horror is our memories

Horror is my regrets

Horror is the things we've done wrong

Horror is when you thought you were still strong

Horror is our monsters

Depression, the world

Horror is people's thought

Horror is yourself.
