(A lone voice whispers)
I'm but a living breathing ghost of my unwanted past
The torturous vicious upbringing I endured will now always last
But once so long ago in one brave moment
When I found the inner strength
To stand strong and relive my historical moments with the so familiar cast
Those angry blue eyes
The harsh vindictive words and the endless beatings
All things which still stain me and will always remain
I once met a beautiful queen from good old Tennessee
Whilst drifting in the red seas in the great in-between
We lived embroiled in such deep love like Romeo and Juliet
Shared succulent poetic stories and open exchanges but my tragic past which haunted me and seems to always last
Caught her dice as they were willingly cast
And now I just live in treasured memories of our beloved past
Before my ghosts with familiar faces from a tragic cast
Destroyed our love and smashed our dreams
As they marked our cards to live as two lonely outcasts

A rather sad film, I recently watched inspired this.
Deep depression from childhood traumatic events can be blamed for so many lives going to waste. Salute.
