"This Grave that I Walk Upon"

I stand upon this unmarked grave,
hollow, mindless, numb,
I've been here far too long.
My skin, dry, cracked, and rotted,
all my memories gone.

A shadow of myself that's been lead astray,
I miss the peace of where I use to lay.
This hunger will not stop it does not pass,
this curse I pray will not last.
What have I done, why did I wake,
what was my sin, what rule did I break.

I walk upon this unmarked grave,
it is my soul that I could not save.
It is my grave that I walk upon,
in this world that I was from.

Now I'm destined to walk alone,
upon this grave that I call home.

This poem is mournfully haunting. And you are so good at it, too! My favorite lines are:

A shadow of myself thats been lead astray,
I miss the peace of where I use to lay.
This hunger will not stop it does not pass,
this curse I pray will not last.
What have I done, why did I wake,
what was my sin, what rule did I break.

just one minor flaw, thats should be that's

always, Cat

You know I read this and it is just okay for me .. I don't know something it's either long winded or off meter in places. I think I need to do some work on it, if you don't mind to be able to give it my honest review. I have to come back again okay but please pm me if I forget less you don't want me to and leave it as is. I like the depth of it but something I can't get the jive with. lol

I have been ill so try to do it on the morrow perhaps.

Mona

All help is appreciated, just PM me whatever it is that you come up with.I haven't had any extra time myself lately, its been so busy around here.Thanks for all your time and effort Mona:-)
