I am not really interested in poetry, but I've had the first three lines of this running through my head for years. A few days ago, I finally decided to grow it and let it roam around in the shadows. I imagine it being read by Vincent Price.
---
Footsteps where they should not be. Is this, in fact, insanity? Or might it be reality?
She to whom I gave my vow, often spurned my bed with a scowl, then to the taverns she would prowl.
I sought her out to make a stand, but found her with another man. I returned home with another plan.
When she returned for her purse, I greeted her with knife and curse. To her rest she rode a hearse.
Now through the window in the gloom, I see a shadow from the tomb. I fear it lusts for my doom.
I hear the creaking of the door, then a shuffling 'cross the floor. Soon, I think, I'll hear no more.
Footsteps where they should not be. Is this, in fact, insanity? I pray, it is not....
reality.

It seemed incomplete, so I added three lines.

Very creepy... but I liked it. I keep reading it over and over for some reason.

Hi. Rictras Shard hasn't posted here in quite a while. Only thing I know is that he's from Canada, if that helps you at all.
