HAUNTED…..( For Jerry Browning's Spooky Theme on POETRY)
You haunt me
Like the unseen
Forces of the dark
Nowhere to run
I grope in the dark.
I feel you pin me
Against the wall………
I wanna cry,
I wanna scream
But the voice has
Died within.
Your whispers are eerie
Your laughter mirthless
You are strangling me
Making me breathless…..
You claw my heart
Making it bleed
Showing mercy
Not your deed.
Venom you spew
Into my breath
Drawing me into yourself
In this dance of death!
Wow...I once felt that way when I had a panic attack!
