My Spirit

My Spirit 

My spirit clings to these forest trees,
seeking the help and revenge that I need.

Underneath them he greedily took me with his filthy body, 
leaving me bleeding between my knees.

Hours later I died, 
leaving few if any leads.

My spirit whispers for help still 
within the leaves of these hardwood trees.

I was pleading for help as loud as I could, 
while he was planting deep in me his family seed.

My pleas, echo in soft whispers 
as the wind blows through the green leaves.



This is a ghost/horror poem about a young girl's spirit haunting the trees in a forest.  She 
was raped of her virginity and her girlhood by a disgusting man under the trees.  Hours later 
she died.  This is her story telling of the echoes that still can be heard, if you listen carefully.

Beautifully written but a tragic portrayal of death under the lovely trees. Heart winching is the truth. I enjoyed the read. Caryl
