Trailing Ghosts

Your time has come The banshees are rapidly approaching Can you hear their screams in your mind? Does the constant rattling and endless wailing Wake you up at night in a cold sweat? Does your bedroom feel a tinge of coldness That causes you to tremble Knowing that your time has run out For you have been abandoned By everyone you have ever loved Because of the many betrayals You bestowed on them without a bit of guilt No one remains To cloak your sins for you You must pay in full And I am here to collect Your wicked soul Look over your shoulder Do you see the decomposing souls That you have left behind Of the gentle feminine creatures That you have used and forgotten? Do you hear the cries Of all of the women Whose hearts you have butchered With your web of deception and lies? Do you feel their loneliness? Do you feel the emptiness they feel? For you have stolen a piece of them That they can never retrieve from you That has left them an empty shell With an inner void That cannot be healed The ones that you so carelessly discarded Are thirsty for your blood They want to feed off you So these zombies that remain Under your spell In their humble state of muliebrity Can awaken from the trance Your venomous manipulation Has sentenced them to For then they will now be cognizant Of how little esteem you hold for The feminine species Their bandages will start to unravel Off the mummified remains of your victims It will be as if they were reborn again They will become alive again Feeling a sense of emotive totality That will free them of their enslavement to you For years you have strategized And plotted your many conquests Leaving a trail of causalities a mile long But, now your castoffs have become united They are hunting you For you are now the prey Listen closely Can you hear their footsteps Growing nearer by the minute? Though you may do your best To absquatulate from your fate Your attempt will be in vain For the wrath of an abandoned woman Gives her ferocious power that Is stronger than any army Is more powerful than any weapon Is sharper than the teeth of the fiercest animal It is immortal It is eternal And it will always find you When you least expect it
