Graveyard Coffeehouse

Phantoms

---

We are awash
In a world of ghosts
Dreams
Demons
Paranormal impostors
Who cut you deep
With a smile
And
Goodbye
Phantasms
Flashing ivory
White incisors
Razor sharp
Slicing you
To the bone
Delivering
Crimson kisses
Like strawberries and wine
Dripping
Sweet ecstasy
That damns you
Forever
Lips
Mouths
Tongues
Hungering for more
Seething with passion
Holding your hand
Heart
Mind
Spirit
As you ride
A death spiral
To the abyss
Eternal love
Shadows and memories
Tears and mascara
Forming rivers
Down her cheeks
Feelings crucified
That die
Screaming
And arise
In the Night
To haunt you again
Nightmares
Seeking
A new home
Returning
The forever
You lost
That slipped
Through
Your fingers
The moment
You had
The courage
To say
I
Love
You.
