A Girl Called Sin

it's that time of year for all the things that go bump in the night

Shadow of the girl who forever cries
Twenty different ways she dreamt she'd die
Nightmares of her grave without a casket
Red and black roses fall from a broken basket
Was it suicide or murder, no one could ever tell
See the truth divided in a mirror between heaven and hell
Misery is the wound that will continuously bleed
Evil around the halo causes Sin to feed
Tattooed against her sickly skin shows she wore the cross
The wind calls her name as her body is buried beneath clumps of moss
Sadness near the tree where she use to carve her name
Haunted as the night like the smoke caught inside the flame
A lost spectre of light bringing wicked chills into the air
A casualty in life because no one seemed to care
Twenty different ways she dreamt she'd die
Shadow of the girl who forever cries
Death now stains her skin
A curse trapped in this world, her name is Sin

I loved this tale.
"Twenty different ways she dreamt she'd die
Shadow of the girl who forever cries
Death now paints her skin
A curse trapped in this world, her name is Sin"
I could write a epic story from the lines above. You create mystery, very good story line and character. Thank you Sean for sharing the amazing poetry and tale.

A very haunting and horror filled story in your brilliant poem. such a tragedy in this it makes the reader (at least me) shed a tear or two for her. Outstanding horror write, very will crafted poem. Another impressive write Sean.

Sorry it took so long to review. This was such a wickedly written poem for the holidays; I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Dark and enjoyable a guilty pleasure to read. Just a thought the line "Death now paints her skin" changed to "Death now stains her skin" I think would fit better paint=temporary, stain=permanent. Just a thought.

This is outstanding horror. Can't decide if I feel sorry for her or want to run in horror. A very dark and chilling poem. Awesome really!

Your flow and rhythm are so powerfully moving, and how you can awaken the darkest things in the world with your magic words. So masterful, Sean.

A haunting tale. So dark...sin....all around us really. I don't think she will ever leave. Great rhyming and good shape. So appropriate for the month of Halloween!

[paul sal.....]

no ones perfect but it sure would be interesting if Sin could die and be buried, it's almost unimaginable

[Black Cat Fever]
