I am
sad
and happy
macabre
and delightful
all at the same time
I am like
a stained glass window
caught in the walls
of an abandoned church
where ghosts and demons
play cards and shoot dice
at Midnight
for fun.
Daily Addictions Prompt: Fuse
Daily Addictions Challenge
Sweet No More
She should have been a ballerina
a Girl Scout
a collector of dolls.
She should have had a sweet laugh
her hair should have been in pigtails
her knee socks should have matched.
When did the darkness settle
in her eyes, fill her heart
when did it murder
her laugh?
When was the monster born
and when exactly
did that little girl die?
Daily Addictions Prompt: ATROCITY
Malvados Sueños
I dreamt you died last night
and
I woke up beaming into the darkness.
If you ever cared for me, loved me, desired me
I hope you will die
when I close my eyes
every night
just
for me
just to make me smile.
Inspired By The Daily Addictions Prompt: Enigma
The Zombie’s Girlfriend
‘The Walker III’ (1968)
I keep trying
to put all of my pieces back together again
I keep trying
to be human.
I think
I’ve forgotten how
and somewhere
my
Zombie Lover
is calling me out
of my tomb
back
into the world
just
as
I
am.
