Cemetery Girl (Poem)

Cemetery Girl

My corpse is decomposing in my coffin
The awful and putrid stench is blowing up the place
I can hear the insects eating away at my coffin for they know that a feast of rotten flesh is near
My blood no longer runs through my veins; it is cold and dissolving
My soul is trapped within this shell and in desperation I am screaming to get out
I cry to God my Savior night after night begging Him to release me
I wait for an answer and I await in vain
This is my punishment for having a lack of faith
I can feel a beetle crawling into my nose and chomping away at my rotting brain
My skull is now soft to dig through
I can feel the insects crawling in and out of my body
They have made my corpse their home
I can feel the maggots devouring what is left of me
A spider crawls out of my eyelid and only returns to tend too her young
Cobwebs are everywhere in every corner of my coffin
The fire ants come in armies and work together to provide for each other
With teamwork they have built an empire
No longer does this bother me; no longer am I suffering
No longer do I feel punished or abandoned by my God
I feel happy
I feel peaceful
I feel as if I am one with nature
As I rest my solitude is inturrupted--for when I listen closely enough I can hear the sound of a shovel digging my grave
I become fearful of what may happen
Grave robbers? I PRAY NOT!!!
I quietly listen in intense suspense and fear until the coffin is finally open
One would imagine my soul screaming in terror but instead I felt a rush of joy flow through me
He came back for me, the man that I love
I knew that he would never leave me
I knew that he would come back for me
I knew that he just couldn't stand to live without me
He climbed into my coffin and held me quite lovingly
His tears reminded me of how sensitive he was
His eyes reminded me of why I fell in love with him
Everything about him made everything so much better
But this joy...Would it last?
The man I love had invaded the home of the thousands of ants
He had invaded the home of the insects and spiders
Quickly and quietly with furious rage the fire ants had swarmed upon him
The family of spiders joined in and injected their deadly venom unto the intruder
Yet not once did he fight back or struggle
He held me tighter and tighter and kissed me on my forehead
He was thankful for the moment
He wanted to die by my side
He died by my side and from then on our souls were united
Together forever and ever
