She haunts my grave

...in the future

She follows me

...from beyond her own

Her memories...her pain...her suffering

Am I to blame?

*

Heart in stomach

Stomach in mouth

Blood on my hands

Blood on my sleeves

*

Blood on her sleeves

Her heart in stomach

stomach in my mouth

Blood on my hands

*

She haunts my grave

...in the future

She follows me

...from beyond her own

Thanks for reading!

Author's notes: Yeah...I got nothing...just felt like a weird and cryptic thing. Lot of darkness in few words.

Also, this is purely ficticious and not based on anything. Any likeness to anything is purely coincidential. Not autobiographical, is what I am saying. Obviously!
