Haunted Figure

Battered and feared.

Only wish is to disappear.

Scamper pretending to be small.

Viewed as an enormous wall.

Kind within a haunted figure.

All tastes are now bitter.

See only the body I take for shelter.

Not the comfiest sweater.

Whimper at whispers of hate.

The clock always rings a bit too late.

Limping away within masked shame.

Fickle as a flame.

Frozen happiness waiting to thaw.

Doused in self pity.

Not an ounce of pretty.

Complete but unsatisfied.

Weep wondering why.

Kneeling before someone greater than I.

Howling a sorry and a final goodbye.
