Premium Member These Dreams

She wakes every night
Around the same time
Shivering and sweating
As 3am chimes

This nightmare she carries
Fills her with fear
As every night draws
Her death she feels near

At eighteen years old
With her whole life ahead
What attracts these dreams
As she sleeps in her bed

The nightmares increase
As the weeks pass by
To a party she's invited
As she gives life a try

Her previous nightmares
Seem a distant past
As she dances the night away
Praying that this is the last

She indicates it's late
To home she must head
In the back of her mind
Is the dreams that she dreads

She takes a shortcut
Only to hear footsteps behind
Before she knows it
There are two by her side

Taunting in ridicule
Down a dark alley they lure
Screaming and scratching
This daughter so pure

To a darkened room
With this evil of two
To her naked flesh
As they do as they do

Her eyes start to close
And the last thing she sees
Through a small basement window
A clock face strikes three

Premium Member Raven's Lost Soul

Karen Croft   Among the Dead   

Every night she walks into darkness

The amethyst mist swoons her darkened figure

As she glides between the grave stones

 the ravens cower over her in pleasure

Keeping watch over her husband

She is among the dead now

The life sucked out of her

To the grounds of the cemetery she remains

Forever trapped in her own dismay

Her once white wedding gown turned from the drowning of her tears

Raven, herself already dead inside 

Her soul lost

Her heart stopped beating the night she shot her husband and  watched his lifeless 

body fall to the floor

She walks in gloom

The cemetery her safe haven

It reserves a place for her

For every where she glances her name is etched in stone
