sick, twisted puppy

sadistic smiles

stretched too tight

on fragile faces.

leering over bed frames

where innocent

victims are sleeping soundly.

so obvious, is sleep.

and they watch,

waiting for them

to stir slightly

or awake from the foul breath

hitting their cheeks.

they wait

for that moment of surprise

before finishing

what they came for.

Wow, very powerful! It really sent shivers down my spine. I love the style of your poetry, it is always so engaging.
