Dearly Beheaded

 

Dearly beheaded.

I was once your betrothed,

I was once enthroned beside you,

now I'm entombed.

Forever to be wedded

to weeds in the ground.

Somewhere I pound

on this lid topped with dirt,

under 6 foot of soil,

my memories hurt.

 

Dearly beheaded.

Now I'm amongst the undead.

These fingers I shred,

tearing at this box

to which I'm enclosed.

Starting to decompose,

bone exposed,

scary how easy I was to dispose.

 

Dearly beheaded.

I sit awaiting my fate.

No head on my shoulders,

no heavy weight overbearing.

Now the worms are feasting

on the scraps of flesh they are eating.

shredded the skin that I was wearing.

 

Dearly beheaded.

I'll be your lone ghost.

Haunting your dreams

when you need sleep the most.

I'll scream in the night,

bang doors in the gloom.

I'll stand where the darkness

meets the light of the moon.

 

Dearly beheaded you said

as you severed the threads.

As you swung the axe down fast

on our marital bed.

The bed where once I lay dead.

Now I'm waiting under the flowerbeds,

to fill your nights with dread.
