Charm

Standing in the doorway Rushing, Racing, Running in circles Colliding, Confusion, Chaos on replay. Slowly pulling the white nightgown over her still cold body Brightly coloured pills, they will make the hour seem less ill. She’s flesh and blood but does not feel human at night Scream underwater, tonight, you’re her kill. Whispering charms and throwing curses The soothing murmur, the stabbing blade Will you still wait in the sweltering heat? Head under ice, dive in, taste the cold. The cool grey fingers will linger at your pulsing throat Gazing into the blackness, the sweet breath shall pull you closer Biting a neck, still yet to be ripe The moving shadows will lure you in Vague despair will creep up your chest Shivers down her spine Whistling claws tearing you down Work on your own, delicate lullaby. Trackless patterns, invisible footsteps Slowly falling from the sky, the tears of a broken star Let the snow bury you deep. She flies with no movement, up and above There is no longer a reality to hold her down Wake up to find her body mangled The twisted lips, the shattered eyes murmuring under her breath a continuous sound something not to be understood.
