The Haunting

Entombed behind isolation walled Prison, A haunting malice trapped me within. Crouching beneath shadows shroud, Leering eyes pierce. Through darkness’s pitch black, Covenant. Pacing beast intercepting motions, Movements, mocking my, Feeble attempts to evade frenzy's, Tormentor. Deceptions deceiver, silver tongued, Weaver, spewing lies deceit. Intricately aligning it's widow, Makers webbing, Feasting on innocence betrayal. Heckling, laughter echoes, against, Dead reckoning. A chilling appetizing, as if pleased, At malice’s intent. Fiendishly, delighting in torturing, It’s human pet. A vacant mumbling feeling over, Comes reasoning, A deeper anger begins to rage, Rebelling against hatred’s, Horrifying entity. Motivated to survive beyond spectral, Captivity. Hear my disgust, creature, I shall destroy thee. Leave me alone, screaming aloud, Sanity's domain gives way. In musty halls empty hollows, An odorous stench. Fills mine senses, Cease mortal miscreant, None leave here alive, Shudders blood runs cold down raw Veins nerve endings, A deepening realizations rushes, The conscious mind, I'm deaths play thing. To be pounced upon, a toy mouse, Caught between claws, Extracting, retracting at whims invoking. Invisible hands grasp choking life's, Breath away. Feeling every heartbeat slowing, Quietly ceasing. Stinging painfully ringing at ear, Shots quivering, Oblivion's mute murmurs never part, Lips tightly closed. Let mercy's fallen be forgiven, Released from, Beyond hells hidden regions, A place devoid of spiritual salvation. Foul demonic spirit haunting, A madman's kingdom, It whispers to me in sweet melodies, Aftershock. Now we begin, and you truly belong to me, With satisfactions grimace, it smiles.
