A GHOSTLY POINT OF VIEW

I’m broken

I didn’t think I could be

not even through years when love was withheld

I persevered

I survived.

I’m broken

I didn’t think I could be

not  through physical abuse and death threats

I overcame

I survived.

  

I’m broken

I didn’t think I could be

not even through your lies and betrayal

I forgave and looked forward

I survived.

 

I’m broken

I didn’t think I could be

but my will is non-existent

my heart unrepairable

I may not survive.

 

I’m broken

I didn’t think I could be

I pray for light

in the darkness

that has become my soul.

I'm broken

I didn't think I could be

I looked inward for answers

and found that the monster

was me.

Witches Are People Too!

Witches are people too.

How dare you assume the worst,

just because our warts burst,

and our homes are cursed.

We toil, and we boil

all strangers that wander near.

You would too if your hunger

knew no fear.

Are you ready now?

ALL HALLOWS' EVE

Copyright for Halloween haunted House Pictures

I rise with the mists.

I wander among the dead and dying.

Leaves don’t crunch under my feet but scatter in fear.

The moon though looks upon me lovingly.

Kindred spirits ravaged by time.

Doomed souls forever cursed to the darkest hours.

Once I loved a man, and he loved me.

Then he loved Sheila.

They buried me deep in the woods.

But I’ve no rest.

Until justice is mine, I wail and moan.

But on All Hallows' Eve my wish will be granted.

Jeremy will once again lie with me.

Sheila now loves another.
