Hole in the Wall

I'm waiting. Just sitting here waiting - watching....

Why? Because something is going to come out.

See that hole in the wall?

It's new, you see - the hole.

Busted in fresh just last week -

by Mrs. Crowley's head.

Oh yes, but before she rammed those demons into that wood

it was saturated, watered....fed...

With her screams - her cries....his lies...

It was filled fully as a glutton -

her life as its dessert.

Now a ragged, splintered gaping hole -

bits of wood litter the floor...

the other missing pieces are gone forever -

no doubt on a the mortician’s table

buried deep in her skull

She lost an eye, too -

poor thing.

She was already half blind.

Oh, but the tragedy

to have her own god steal her sight completely.

But not in vain – no, sir

It was for the darkness.

For now the hole watches me as I watch it -

it stole her eyes, as it stole his soul...

So I sit and watch and wait -

Waiting for it to lurk out of its dark corners -

in search of the next generation to destroy
