Witnessing the Remains

Shedding a rotten vessel 

infected to the core

desperately searching for some salvation 

purged from within the confides of life

Let loose upon the realms of the plains

Dancing above a lifeless corpse

Anchored within a new jail

Escaped a cruel existence 

Stumbled blindly through the void

Haunting the destroyed remains

The tears of those that cared

Stuck to watch in loop 

The devastation that they'd caused

Ghastly fingers comb the walls

Long after there act discovered

A mother grasps the child she loved

Witnessed through un reaching eyes

Skipped through the exit signs

Quick to plunge the blade

Running from the darkness in there mind

Embarrassing the light 

In hope of a softer realm 

Stricken faces of loved ones

Trapped within the house

A spirit cursed for fleeing 

Puzzled questions , Unanswered fears

Witnessing the self blame

Watching through a shimmering veil

No escape left to run through 

No paths to  a different dimension 

The blade had led them stuck between 

Reality unfinished with there tainted souls

It held them, tied them down

Ghosts that wanted out

Lingering spirits witnessing there own remains
