Nightmare 4

He is amped up excited
Very eager and ready
No shaking this time
His hands they are steady

His next victims he's found
Quickly and urgent
So quick with his ok plan
This time it felt perfect

A need to get it done
So he can feel the rush
The euphoria high he gets
Just the right amount of touch

So again he will wait
Until they both fall asleep
He will enter their home
In silently he creeps

As he makes his way 
Inching in up the stairs 
The couple is sleeping
Dream peacefully in there

He cracks open the door
Pokes his head in just right
Takes a glance across the room
They are sleeping inside 

Silently he steps in
To the husbands side of the bed
Pulls a rag of chloroform 
Covers his mouth amd his breath

He's figured out his M.O.
He kills the woman first
Also nore slowly as well
This satisfies his thirst  

No that the husband
Won't definetly wake up 
He looks to the wife 
Laying with her eyes shut 

He decide at this point
He'll sit on top of her
And wrap hands around
Her tiny neck firm

He squeezes them tight
She wakes in a panic
She's fighting to breathe
Her struggle is frantic

He stares deviously evil
Straight into her eyes 
Watching her strength face
Chokes her last but of life

He was cleaner this round
No blood on a blade
He decided to strangle 
The husband the same way 

Due to the chloroform 
He did not at all wake
It was easy to choke
Less energy needed to take

The life from his body
His eyes did not open
No fight back was recieved
His throat was now broken

Now they are both dead 
He's full of adrenaline
Thinking he can't stop now
He must go kill again

But something was wrong
It felt a bit more off
Than the first time he's killed
This time it came with a cost

A big fact he now realized
This he might care
Becuase to his surprise
It was not a nightmare

This is the final poem to my NIGHTMARE series. I had a lot of fun creating this story. It was fun to let the dark side of the pen write. Stay tuned for my next series. This has inspired me to do a few short stories in poem form. One is already in the works......
