Dreaded Poems - Poems about Dreaded

A shadow walks where silence bends, With whispering ghosts that call as friends. The mirror lies with fractured grace, A thousand eyes behind one face.

He sits and scratches With endless scratching They cover him in patches Hope they aren’t catching He struggles with them Longing to destroy their eggs They darken and condemn Creeping and crawling with long legs He dreads this affliction Which comes to him often Yearning for their eviction His heart would surely soften He is the dog of my dreams Yet he begs and he pleads For relief...
