I feel your fingers as they reach for me, 

They manifest with a cold caress. 

Your spectral lips part to masticate, 

Ghost teeth rattle like castanets. 

 

That baleful sound resounding in my brain, 

Immobilized, but I cannot flee. 

Frozen in place by your dire embrace, 

Your tongue only offers jeopardy. 

 

A whisper, a warning, 

A frigid respiration. 

The craving, the hunger, 

Feral desperation. 

The tearing, the gnashing 

The jaws, how they are grinding. 

Oh god, Oh god, 

The pain is blinding. 

Held in thrall, no escape, 

I feel the venom from your bite. 

Go back to the grave, 

Spare me from your appetite.

I was bit by a ghost
