Haunting

 Haunting 

the room’s a mess.

the ouija’s in pieces.

the writings on the wall don’t even make sense anymore.


yet you grin lovingly,

 leaving behind that gunk as a trail. 
  {your ectoplasm’s a nightmare to clean}


our dining table’s translucent, 

as you’ve instructed.

the food, hardly intact.

Yet you play with your food, as you’ve done so my innards.

 [Explain. Why should I be the one to suffer, an immeasurable; when you’re the one I’ve seen suffer, THE IMMEASURABLE]
