Whispers creep like ants on my skin,
shaking from a past unremembered.
They rise from their tombs etched in sin,
Visions of bodies dismembered.
Their tongues set my ears ablaze,
I light this forest on fire
so each bloody limb can be erased
from pointing their fingers at this liar.
They threaten me, knowing my secrets,
Stripping off my defenses,
forming into my tourniquet,
This is life under false pretenses.

those bad things do come back to haunt us, so here am I! the images are vivid, and the connection of the points is gurglingly exciting! the rhyme seems to detract from it though; as it were a only melodramatic ghost fable around a campfire, and you proved it much more than that in other aspects. ignoring that, it fills me with it's dark lambence.
