Six riddles I bestow
Answers hiding far below
1) I cry several times per day
My innards are coiled tight
I hiss when I'm awake
Especially when it's at night
What am I?
2) I am ghostly, I cannot be seen
I can touch you but you can’t touch me
I come from the heart, this you know
Another word for tool, is how I am shown
In your mind, I'll burrow myself
Create me in sequence until I am grown
What am I?
3) Pose me like a tan cactus,
Draw your attention to my limbs,
Featureless, and my joints may rust
Although I look alive, I lack human skin sin
What am I?
4) I strike at any time, for vague reasons alone
Men will be afraid to leave
The sanctity of their homes
Felt by all, but never seen
Only the brain can hear my piercing scream
What am I?
5) I lay across your chair at night, obfuscated by darkness
A normal thing by day, although I’m still heartless
Worn, but not out, I am a slave to my host
They say my flesh holds romance, but all I feel are ghosts
What am I?
6) My lips drip putrid word spit,
I feel that I’m fairly lovesick
Among the thrashing, moaning throes
I feel my bones crack and groan
I see you staring through your screen
Looking for those horrific fonts
My limbs powerful - not so lean,
Teeth tombstone large and incredibly clean
I invite you to take notice of these,
Every word I've written
Is a drop of blood for thee.
What am I?
