Everyone has a deep, dark secret (or ten). Write about (one of) yours in any poetic style. You can be as specific (or as vague) as you want. Please tag me.

Rev_Frenchie in Poetry & Free Verse

Your fingers constructed abandoned houses wherever they touched me

And every night I see you but you're nothing more than an apparition in the corner of my eye

With every "I Love You," you injected ghosts into my bloodstream-

Leaving me haunted even when you weren't there

So now I can't sleep with the lights off

Because even the sun can't chase away your shadows

And priests won't set foot near my front door

(They've given me up to the devil)
