Ashy knees
bruised up legs
torn up white lace dress
in the woods you run away
from all that's been left
The ghost behind
flashing lights
following you with every step
Not even the purest river
can clean up all regret.
Your bloody arms
Rotten heart
love deprived
hollow inside
by your beauty he was hypnotized
fooled by a facade of winsome lies
thought your love made his soul bright
now only his body lies
paralyzed and stripped of life
He won't rest till it's you he finds.

What a great poem.
It has everything, intrigue, revenge, the search for justice. Is there a sequel.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I'll work on making a sequel.
Such an intriguing start, and it never lets up. Sometimes vagueness adds more to it than details.
That's true, I'd hope it still delivers the message.
'The ghost behind

simply Brilliant!
