The Butcher [August 30, 2016] [Viewer Discretion Advised]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightViewer Discretion Advised: Contains Graphic Content.He carves her body with his blood-stained Knife He laughs as she bleeds, as he takes her life He chops the meat up, wraps it by the slice Puts it in the freezer, buried in the ice They wonder where she went, she's still missing on the news But she's dead, they're searching for evidence being consumed The meat so tender, he wears her scent like a perfume While he devours her, the police cancel their pursuit He finds another victim, walking alone at night He creeps up behind her, She doesn't put up a fight She awakes in a basement, blood visible in the dim light Crimson trickles from a table, wrapped meat stacked tight The butcher walks slowly down his dusty stairs She pulls at her chains, after seeing his apron and wares He grabs his blood-stained knife and walks towards her He stabs her in the chest, and starts cutting without a word She screams and fights, but loses too much blood She dies with a look of horror on her face, her head drops with a thud He carves the meat after having his delicious fun Alone in his basement, he eats with the rising sun © 2017 Dillan Courtright |
