Challenge
Chills
This one's simple: Write something that gives me chills, with a spooky twist or eerie atmosphere.
Crawling
Worms in your bones, throbbing in starvation
you opened my veins to let crimson blood flow
wounds too deep, healing incomplete
tunnel light love retreats as I crawl on all fours
bloody wrists leave a trail of crimson chills
Scraped hands and knees, oh please, oh please
elevate me from the pounding rain of my tears
replace my bones before they rot in the ground
bandage my wounds from your continuing abuse
I’m crawling back to you like a moth to light, but
I realize I’ve drowned in your seas too many times
worms in your bones, throbbing in starvation.
