Witness

The pain of dark moments
in our past
haunt us between
the blinks of our eyes.
We turn around in our beds
To see them lunging at us
like dark monsters.
For us
these monsters come
and hunt.
The burden of fear
slows a man down
like nothing else can;
So we hold back from the future
While we’re running
from the past.
This is the curse
of evil moments,
to which we have been
even just witnesses to.
Witness Alone.
Sometimes this
is not enough to save a man
from the burden of guilt
for the crimes that are committed
on this earth.
