A Dark Dialogue Pt1 of 3pts

There it sits…
in the dark corner a hollow thing bony arms skeletal

Is it grinning 
There sitting closer in shadow even in Light.
Black Eyes staring. 

Things understand….
Unmoved.
EYES glow like cats in car lights

I wonder…
What are you!
A haunting vestige of hair, all teeth, and bone 

Tumbling down past your shoulders
A dark thing of dark flesh…
Lost to void

A pool of light near your arm
It's daringly too close, fearing to see 
too much too soon...

Light seems to retract?

Feeling your ice drift from you
from your hands
I ask you, “what are you?”
“Where have you been?” 
“Where are you going”?

Skintight skull grinning eyes wide
a dark dialogue I devise
I want to pull you close but the fear is…

You were my ALL, in a former life.
My memories of us once
beautiful, bright, fleeting...

...now just dust drifting 
Your soul is lost,
so is mine?

And only this thing
Sits & grins 
                 sinisterly at me…
