Four Lost, One Haunted

A little boy lost his ghost,
Can't find the meaning.
It calls his name,
Through all its pain,
But he's not hearing.

A man lost his ground,
He knows he's rusting.
The sky goes black,
When she comes back,
He is far from trusting.

A little girl lost her soul,
Her mind is reeling.
The Devil's grin,
Her bones too thin,
But she's not feeling.

A woman lost her faith,
She slowly withers.
Her God is calling,
As her heart is falling,
But she just slithers.

I found them dead today,
Their eyes were taunting.
And even peace,
Seems well at ease,
But I know they'll haunt me.
