The Haunting of Eve

A LIITLE SOMETHING FOR OCTOBER:)

Only on the haunting of his Eve

Is the time he kneels and grieves

Stories and eerie feelings of the dead

Leave cryptic thoughts in his head

Does the scratching on the walls

And blood stains in the halls

Explain all this guilt and pain

Seeing her reflection in droplets of rain?

Chills spread like tattoos on his arms

Lacerations in his skin show her harm

Notes left on the mirror at night

Add a different sensation of fright

Her voice echoes in the dying breeze

Her pale white figure hanging from the trees

He finally reaches out and screams

 Feeling more sinister than a nightmarish dream

All the lies cover his eyes with shame

That he cannot even speak her name

Murder lives underneath the bedroom floor

Where her lost soul is left to explore

No life left through her hollow bones to save

 House she once loved becomes her unmarked grave

She now bleeds misery in his heart

His false promises of love from the start

In his damaged mind he lives with strife

Finally becoming one with the knife

In the distance you can see his ghostly shadow grieve

Only on the haunting of his Eve!

You have such a brilliant mastery of the darkness... of the wicked shadows of the mind... This just stirs the night with its echoes of pain.. loss.. misery... with the aching of murder and madness...
