On a Grey Tombstone

On a grey tombstone The date of death was early But the ground is fresh A corpse lies on top of grave With the skull wielding power It crawls towards me Wanting to borrow my heart So that it may live I scream running far away Never to return again

Looks like a good double tanka entry for Halloween. You appear to be fully into the spirit of the holiday.
