Haunted

Summary:

You don't have to be a ghost to haunt me

Notes:

For Flaky who deserves the world but instead gets this last minute boo-gram

Many many thanks to the delightful Froggy who looked this over for me and was just the best cheerleader

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Since before even my birth

Your shadow has loomed over me

Spreading death and striking fear

Haunted by a prophecy

 

Hateful words and loveless glares

From my remaining family

Headaches, mirrors, silver blood

Haunted by the death you flee

 

Crimson threats written on walls

Your attempted murder spree

Inky blood staining my hands

Haunted by a memory

 

Great betrayals, twisted truths

Stories spilled under a tree

Family found and family lost

Haunted by this treachery

 

Dodging roaring fires hot

Plunged into the icy sea

Fighting through a monstrous maze

Haunted by your plan for me

 

Venom bite and loved one held

Lured into the ministry

Visions playing in my head

Haunted by a part of me

 

Chasing answers in the past

Pearly memories I see

Resemblance between me and you

Haunted by your history

 

Destroying every piece of you

Final steps in secrecy

Facing you with my last breath

Haunted by my destiny

 

Empty mind and aching heart

Yearning for your part of me

Searching for something I lost

Haunted by your vacancy

Notes:

Me: ok just a simple flowery bit of prose will do
Brain: POEM!!!!!!
Me: hhhhhhhh fine but let's make it so that only every other line rhymes
Brain: sure!
Me:
Brain:
Brain: ok but every other lines HAS TO RHYME WITH EVERY OTHER LINE!!!! A SINGLE RHYME!!!!! 18 TIMES!!!!!!!! SURELY WE'LL FIND ENOUGH WORDS THAT RHYME

If you saw me rhyme me with me: no you didn't
