Poem Title:
Poem
Carefully placed Thought before action Action before regret Regret before memory Memory all that remains Of pain etched on face As strokes were made Forehead creased And wispy breaths Through Grimaced Grinding teeth Knuckles white Clutching tight Muscles all tensed As reflection In blue eyes turn to Crimson To red How does it seem So far away now Only in still gush of water Thoughts are found Face buried deep beneath Murky depths Only bubbles of feather weighted air Evolve from tightly strung lips That hide secrets of thoughts unmasked Yet they fear They fear the story The story they swore They never would Let slip past again Little girl Clutching slippery knees Trying to hide What she dares not Admit has been committed A deed so foul Evidence emits Making seen bet lost With the devil with his demons With regret Water-matted hair Strings past Red raw eyes From tears silently Burning through The absent gaze Thoughts of demons Re-emit "What have you done now?" Menace in the raspy voices In which they speak "I see again old skills Have been perfected" Her body shivers in fear How did she let them Again so near "Twitchy twitchy little girl How did you manage to again unfold We watched We waited Our time is come Revenge on you oh little one" Suddenly writhing In apparent frustration Of demons drawn near She screams under her breath Scared to be revealed Scared of death She stops All becomes still Is this the end Have they collected their kill? Calm before the storm Or moment of silence After it has passed Muscles start to tighten Head slowly lifts up Hair slithers into Framing of face She faces directly forward Eyes glistening With what will scare Truthful Anger Demented trust Disillusioned bloodlust Of life a lost Her eyes glisten But where Will the vengeance Finally start To end Where demons left their mark A painful red Memory to defend
