My Haunting Heart :: soulwriter :: Original Poetry

My Haunting Heart

Why did you step on my beating heart as it lay there upon the floor

First you ripped it from my chest and as I was taking my last breath

You retreated to the place where there is no way back from eternal darkness

You will realize what you have done and though you have destroyed my heart, my soul remains

My death came at your hands and with a vengeance I will haunt your every breath

You cannot be rid of me; hear the beating of my heart with every step that you take

My spirit will forever walk in your dead footprints

Your only rest will be momentary as you seek the comfort of silent sleep

For when you dream my heartbeat will become your nightmares

As you wake there will be nowhere to run

Because over and over - the thump thump thumping of my heart will be beating louder in your brain

Until my pain subsides - as at last you grow wearily insane

.... What was it that caused the blood in your veins to grow so cold and heartless ...Can you now feel the hot blood that rages through my haunting heart!

icu2 commented on My Haunting Heart 03-01-2010: I thought this was quite funny and it made me laugh out loud. That's okay, isn't it? I really enjoyed it a lot. I thought you should have him find a big bloody heart on his pillow...rather than a horses head...?? Loved it.; Reply to Comment

soulwriter 03/01/2010: Oh yes I like your perspective - I enjoy the fact that you took a brighter look at the remorse and found a haunting humor in the subject. Thank you!!!

Marsink commented on My Haunting Heart 02-26-2010: the graphic nature in descript words is what can be haunting: vengeance is served hot as the main course of vein's imagination, not on the side. It made me think of the Tell Tale Heart, by Poe; Reply to Comment

soulwriter 02/27/2010: Your commentary speaks well of my words inflection! Thank you my friend.
