It

"IT"

On the way home,
I notice a change around my domain.
Shivers prick all the way down my spine.
I inhale a smell so evil- IT is now ITS’ name.

Without hesitation, I pass my hopscotch sidewalk.
Creeping up my screeching steps, my doors were unlocked.
I hear a man’s footsteps below. 
 
There IT was waiting for me all over again,
Ready to steal the light that shines on my face.
Trying to find ITS’ way under my skin.
This time I was prepared.
Not scared!

"Finally," 
I started to enjoy the way this evil dwells.
Only I could see and feel its impulsive behavior.
Always profiling me and, trying to screw demons inside.

IT is like a retarded disorganized killer.
Leaving a trail and odor that IT is around.
A look so randomly
Overlooking my criteria.

I can smell its decomposing body.
Its voice inflicts my soul with injuries of guilt.
 
I feel IT moving very slowly,
IT is proceeding near the door! 
I wait! 
IT turns!
I yell! 
IT cunningly smile my way.

I smile back.
With the thought
Death was the only way to do us (IT) apart.
Now IT is my creation!
A murder!
A crime!
A hidden grave!
IT wants revenge.

All I wanted was to be alone.
Now IT is there.
Haunting our home.

PD Such a hauntingly eerie and creepy write. It could be the start of a horror or thriller. LOL Thank you for the nice comment on my Robin Hood poem.

remembering this oldie of yours. I see Linda's comment beneath mine and I think how strange it is that she is not here any more. I sure do hope she is ok. We just can't know. I tried calling her and her phone was disconnected. Let me know if you ever hear any word on Linda, the sweetheart.

PD ~ I love how "IT" has so many definitions for so many!!! To leave the "IT" nameless was the best part of the write. Allowing us the readers to fill "IT" in. So creative... the "IT" for me would be the "Depression Demon" as I believe it is for you. Love this write my friend... as always... Lay

great write my suggestion mind you but I think the spelling is incorrect for the meaning of the word sew, I think it should be sow, as in planting demons. the other one would be as in like a needle and thread stitches. If that is what you wanted. I do love this though great write.
