'The murdered do haunt their
murderers,' Heathcliff taught me
Before I died, it’s what he shared

So I can see
why I am stalked,
Eternally, eternally.

From the first time we talked
I knew, I knew
You'd follow where I walked-

Over the moor and through
the crying reeds, reeds
whose songs captivate those who

Look behind, who's curiosity feeds
their Orpheus complex, the
sky a puzzle that bleeds-

-staining every tree
with god-inflicted malice.
He haunts me-

-pulls me into the palace
of his desperate solitude
to drink of his poison chalice.

Now my heart is skewed
and writhes, contorted
ribcage torn and nude,

its Morse-code distorted
then silent, comatose, I pray
my heart will be aborted.

Because you won't say
you love me; devil,
Now, or any other day.

My weeping is music; within it you revel.

The poem is very good. I look forward to reading more of your work.

I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality.
