The Haunting

Everything leaves, everything stays
I am a ghost, I am, remains
I blink with thoughtlessness
A deep, dark, nothingness
I am missing... something
The thrill of beating drums is gone
A dream grown silent
I had it all wrong
Bones and pain and rust
Fiery embers to dust
Sweetest of smells to musk
A smoldering carcas at dusk
Nothing but deep, dark, empty
Haunting halls and passerbys
No more dreams, no more cries
Just a soul, a flickering light
Letting go of all her might
Just a day becoming night
One less struggle, one less fight
One less amongst the living
Yet everything stays, everything

    Beautiful and spooky. Just the way the ghosts in this house like it.

    Beautiful poem. The imagery really creates a haunting tone.

    The thrill of beating drums is gone

    This line really stood out for me.

      I wrote this after binge watching The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. Highly recommend that show! Thank you for reading my poem 😄
