Oh that so stains the sheets blood red.

Doors locking, like thoughts rushing through the minds of babes

Whispers, soft, upon battered ears now deaf

Can you hear them?

Listen….

Close your eyes.

(Ah yes, there they are)

Slowly moving towards you

Inside you

(Hurry!!! Grab hold!)

Quickly hands move

Choking the life out of the memories

Oh that so stains the sheets blood red.

Hateful words coming forth

(Don't let them in!)

(Sssshhhhhh. She will hear)

And you wait. Huddled in the deepest corner..

Footsteps slowly leaving, moving away

A sigh of relief.

Yet too soon.

She is there, behind you..

(Oh God!)

Sharpened claws ripping open, shredding, tearing,

Your very existence, life passing before eyes of mist

And for a moment,

Just that single moment.

You smile.

 

Gone now.. Lifeless eyes staring ahead.

Oh that so stains the sheets blood red.

Anxious and terrifying....playing in the fields of our own head, ain't no place to hide, you take your beating and pray for the sun not to go down tomorrow night. Gripping....loved it.

[SpokenWord]

Feeling a little wicked in this one I see. I am a huge fan of horror don't know why but they always capture my attention like this poem did. I like the build up of suspense, they thought they were safe to only find out they are deeper in than they sought and then it is too late. Nice slasher and the sheets are blood red. Great write.

There is a darkened, haunting feel here, as if someone is moving through one's very mind.. looking for doors that are unlocked. Powerful, emotional push and pull.
