Tortured Soul

My body is broken
My mind beyond repair
Struggling to exist
Never going anywhere

Reaching out for a gentle touch
A friendly smile, a comforting word
Deep in the depth of my tattered heart
I know that this notion is truly absurd

Not wanted in the material world
Not ready for the astral plane
Trapped in a limbo of emptiness
Alone with my thoughts, half insane

No one hears when I tearlessly cry
Sometimes I wonder why did I die
Yet stay chained to this world
Why oh why

No one to miss me
No one to care
My only ability
The power to scare

So from now on I am compelled
To roam the earth at night
Searching out a victim
To release me from my plight

But human nature I have found
Is based on fear and greed
I’ll haunt the paths of the hellbent men
You best take heed, take heed

So I am bound unto this world
For a thousand years or more
Unless a kindly Soul can help me
Find that elusive door

Oh how to escape this mortal plane
How I long for sweet realease
Will I find that sacred door
To epiphany and restful peace

For now I’ll punish mortal hearts
Of those who are cruel and unkind
If you dare hurt the innocent
Then I will break your mind

Mark my words and heed them well
I will not say them twice
For every hurt you commit
I’ll make you feel them thrice!
