Ghosts? Vampires? Ha! I scoff at such petty frights...


Welcome To My Halloween

I write in red,
So these words will bleed me,
I feel as though I should be dead,
And I probably should be,
But I'm not!
I curse this world and the next,
Not to mention my empty cot,
I am hexed!
And unbelievably vexed,

Scarecrows and masks
Ghouls and goblins,
Mad scientists with flasks,
Escapees from the looney bins,
Do not faze me!

Jack-O-lanterns and vampires,
Hay-rides and haunted homes,
Killers for hire,
And those freaky lawn gnomes!
I take all in stride,

For death is not the worst,
Life can be an even greater devil,
I am plagued and cursed,
At an immortal level,
Without you!

Tis my fault,
This spell you swallowed,
And I cannot bring this to a halt,
So, I sit here and wallow,
In my pain,
And my pity,
From this I have not a thing to gain!

You were smart and witty,
And now, I sit on your grave and weep,
I dug this grave upon which I sit,
And not a peep,
Comes from the souls of long ago,
Knowing that to your demise, I was the key,
And no amount of begging, favors, or dough,
Will do the trick 'cause the devil that killed you is in me!
