Your Ghost

 



I see you, in this moment.


You're hurting, but even while in the rain, your pain isn't getting washed away.

You have your back to me but I want you to look at me.

I hold your hand, you stiffen.


I turn you around.

You're afraid because I'm making you feel.

And you don't want to.

I lock eyes with you and smile.

I raise my hand to your cheek and I can't tell if the wetness is still the rain or now your tears.

I dance in the rain and you watch me.

I see a faint smile dusting the corner of your lips.

I don't want your ghost, I just want you.

I'm looking for gold. Barefoot and hungry I wandered through the forest. My hands brushed roughly against tree trunks and shrubs as I leaned against them for support. I was tired, it's been two days.

As I took a step towards the overgrown bushes, my lungs in my throat, out of nowhere an arrow flew right past me, missing my head by a few inches. I gasped, eyes wide. I turned around and made a run for it....

Prompt 3: Murderer

Prompt: Pick a name, a place, thing and an emotion and write a short horror story about it. Name: Megan. Place: Tennessee. Thing: Axe. Emotion: Grief Dedicated to Gbolahan (G-easy/Gbolisky)♥ ***** It was the smell that woke her this time. That tangy, fishy smell. It was in the air and whether she liked it or not it was there to stay. It clung to everything- her clothes, it clung to the boxes and gas barrels that seemed to have been abandoned for who knows how long. The mouldy rocky floor was filled with the clothes and belongings of the deceased. Megan was locked up in some kind of underground warehouse. It was dark and humid. She could barely even see her hands in front of her. It had rained the night before. Drops of rain were slowly seeping in through the cracks of the floor above her. She was cold, hungry. Counting the days here, made no difference. All the days have long since merged into one. The smell was getting worse. Usually, the bodies didn't spend...

Heaven, heaven on Earth. Something's moving, Something's changing. Can you feel His glory? Feels like heaven on Earth. Life is beautiful. Hey poetry, haven't written you in a while. I know, I know. You're upset. I had a lot of things I had to do, And now that I'm back,  Will you forgive me? No? Okay. Moving on. 2021, what will you bring? I see bliss, growth, upliftment. This is my greater year, The stars are just my beginning. Each night I look at Orion, I love that constellation,  Why? Only my sister knows. Oh, Nepa just brought light, These days they've been trying small small. Just finished watching 'Croods 2' the other day, Literally one of the funniest cartoons I've watched in recent memory, Also, 'Soul' is one unusual cartoon that'll have you thinking about life; I learned this from it: 'You were born to Live'. Deep, right? So, live. Enjoy every second of your life, because they are that precious. I know for a fact that you ...
