I have a problem with horror movies

Grave yards

Hunted by Ghosts 

That make you feel they are real

Then disappear 

and leave you in fear

You’d wonder if they were ever really there

And struggle with sleep till you fall into a nightmare


Here

There is a graveyard of all the emotions you’ve buried

Hunted by the memories of every lover who went ghost on you

Made you feel something you thought was real

Till they disappeared

And now you are scared

Wondering if everything that made you feel alive Is really dead 

Struggling to convince yourself that it’s all in your head

Then you wake up to realize that it wasn’t a bad dream

Or a scary movie

This plot is your love story

So I wonder if my problem is with fear

Or love 

Or the fear of loving again
