I looked out of the window
and saw nothing there
Just the trees singing
within the cool darkened air
Then I headed to the closet
to have a look around
A pair of old school sneakers
is all that I found
I strolled to the bathroom
and peered in the mirror
No ghosts or demons
were haunting me there
The kitchen knives sat
silently gleaming
With slivers of demented
moonlight streaming
As the night danced on,
with the shadows upon my floors
Everything seemed so twisted
unlike just moments before
A blurr and a shriek with red
painted walls
Vases smashing and tinkling
to bits of shards as they fall
If music were to play, it would
be sadistically ominous
Where time vanishes and
becomes nefarious
I looked to my hands,
found them drenched
and sticky
Liquid scarlet oozing
as the rythm of the clock
was ticking
My breath was panting loudly
Heart beating wildly
Upon my knees, I rocked to the
veins pounding out her blood
Licked my lips as I spread it
across my skin,
as thick as I could
And then nothing....
Not even the wind
Deafness everywhere
But soon it began low, from
somewhere deep within,
As I looked inside, witnessing
my murderous sin
I had become what hides
under the beds at night
What prowls and devours
and is always just out of sight
As this hideous realization hit home....
I screamed.
