it comes to feed again
it's claws scream,
my blood thriving
in its veins.
it scratches at my bed
my headboard is creaking
no, wait, it's at my feet now.
God help me, i hear it smiling
i hear it's evil joy laughing in my ear.
Oh, Lord, save me, please
the floorboards are creaking now
and something's tearing off my sheets.
i want to run, but i'm helpless
i let it crawl on my bed
i let it's fingers pry open my mouth
i let it's claws inside my throat
and still am helpless to the blood
pouring from my lips.
it's eyes are inside me
they stare at my nakedness,
waiting for my pride to lower
my hands from myself.
the blood from its teeth
drips down my chest
and seeps into my heart.
my floorboards no longer creak
and it need no longer seek.
it has found me.
oh God help me
my fear
is
a
monster.
