She haunts my grave

...in the future

She follows me

...from beyond her own

Her memories...her pain...her suffering

Am I to blame?

*

Heart in stomach

Stomach in mouth

Blood on my hands

Blood on my sleeves

*

Blood on her sleeves

Her heart in stomach

stomach in my mouth

Blood on my hands

*

She haunts my grave

...in the future

She follows me

...from beyond her own

*

Thanks for reading!

Author's notes: Yeah...I got nothing...just felt like a weird and cryptic thing. Lot of darkness in few words.

Also, this is purely ficticious and not based on anything. Any likeness to anything is purely coincidential. Not autobiographical, is what I am saying. Obviously!

    For a "got nothing " piece this spoke volumes.

  • Feels like "The Tell-Tale Heart". Very effective.

    Oooh this was so eery and mysterious but the perfect amount of vague because it got my imagination going wild. Thanks for clarifying it's ficticious 😂😂😂

    Glad to know you're not a murderous cannibal.

    Eugh, definitely icky, but also cryptic and I love that! "Stomach in mouth" is just so unusual and visceral. *shudders*
