Haunting

She is a haunting.

The cavities of her chest

spill over with ghosts.

Her bones

creak like the hardwood floors

of an old, decrepit home.

Her eyes

are portals to other worlds—

dimensions far beyond human knowledge.

She is a shell.

Uninhabitable.

Condemned, even.

She holds so many final moments

within her walls.

The moments

before her heart broke.

The moments

before he left.

Broken down

from the loss of love.

From the loneliness that followed.

From the shame.

She will consume

and be consumed by

you.

Take you all in.

Shape shift and

contort herself

into your dream girl.

Act against her nature,

all for you.

And when you leave,

(and you will leave)

she will turn you into

another ghost

that roams her halls.
