What Haunts Me the Most

Grey scales paint the eerie atmosphere
	realistic fiction portrayed in my docile mind

I find myself
	atop the highest part
	of a crumbling castle

The spectral fog settles
	revealing her secrets

Draped in a vivid dress
	of baby blue
	lined with daisies

She stares out of the shattered
	stained glass window
	into the firebreathers abyss

Volts shred my veins
	as she sways
	and faces me

Rivers of ruby red flow from shoulder to fingertips
	glistening in the moonlight as they raged on

Silver streams of tears glide down her cheeks
	which hold a pale rosy hue

Still gripping the lightning struck sand
	still dripping with fresh depression

She manages a sorrowful smile
	that screams, “help me…”

But I cannot
	for I am chained
	and can’t move

Emotionally she whispers
	I love you baby

Giving into gravity
	she embraces the wind

I awake
