I walk the path of the weak and weary
Tattered, broken, and all alone
Everything is dark and dreary
Every tree, bird, and stone
I see many all around me
Wand’ring aimlessly through the night
Although the darkness doesn’t surround me
I never pass within their sight
They call out, “What have I done?”
“Why have they left me all alone?”
I answer back, “They all have run”
“They’d rather lose all that they own.”
“They wished you’d change, but you did not”
“They left their things and went away”
“They said that they were better off”
“Without the burdens that you gave.”
But my reply fell on deaf ears
For denial ruled these poor lost souls
They lost the will to even hear
The price they pay in mortal tolls
And then I thought, “Why am I here?”
“What have I done to come this way?”
“Did I give my loved ones a reason to fear,”
“Or did I just wander ‘nto the fray?”
Then a thought did dawn quite clear
A reason for my happenstance
The reason wasn’t out of fear
Nor was it of coincidence
The reasons for my wayward stroll
That ever more became a trance
Wasn’t for my lacking toll
But because I had paid it in advance
I doomed myself from the start
With a simple, little lie
Which in the end tore out my heart
And left me wishing I could die
But instead I travel on
Down this path of old poor souls
Never returning where I’m from
Now that I have paid the tolls

Reminds me of Poe. I haven't written any poems lately becaue I mostly write them for school. I'll probably get around to posting another one of my old poems eventually.

This was actually inspired by Poe, Hawthorne, and Frost (Yeah, Frost, believe it or not). I was feeling creative. XD

this poem just matches the haunted house in NLC so well.
