I'm Seeing Dead People Again

A collaboration with Sean M. Addams.

I’m seeing dead people again

They want me to hear their sins

Their pain I cannot erase

Lost souls without a real body or face

I try to hide and close up my ears

They only get violent clawing into my fears

The visions engraved into my head

Frightening sounds and images of the dead

Wounds appear on my face and arms

My body becomes their place of harm

My house becomes a haunted host

The floating nightmarish forms of ghosts

I put up a cross and a crucifix

Hoping that they will do the trick

For revenge they slash me crimson

My body has now become my prison

I hear their cold raspy whispers all around

Then they scream such unsettling sounds

I see the horrors they play before my eyes

Such possibilities of terror who could realize?

I cannot eat nor can I sleep

In their haunting grip I cannot even weep

My remaining alive is just so wrong

With them is where they think I belong

They wrap me within their ghostly freeze

Alter my perceptions and my reality

I wake up hearing my terrified calls

Now I am ghost haunting my own barren halls

great piece, the image is amazing, the flow goes well, yet I believe cutting it into stanzas would make it easier to read. reminds me of two unpublished poems of myself in which the both talk about being possessed.
well done you both did a great job. keep it up

[Eric Cox]

Creepy ghost poem, makes me feel like I need to shiver after reading it. I really need to. Awesome collaboration between you and Sean.

[Cassiopia Summers]

I do believe this is one amazing poem. Wonderful collaboration if I do say so myself. You guys should create some more amazing works, you work well together.

oh.. i can actually read yours. sometimes sean gets a little to literal with his theme and makes the font nearly invisible. nice collab ma'am.
