A Possession

2012 poem reworked

There was an old eerie house

abandoned upon a hill

Forgotten by the earth 

in its atmosphere, it laid still

One  dark November night

A car broke down, no help in sight

A family sought shelter from the cold

A fire, they lit, for the lights were out

Young Elise turned 15 this coming June

A big girl now she walked alone to the storage room

She found a key that opened a gate

Curious about where it fit she had to investigate

Elise took a stroll and spotted a well

She walked towards it, in the waters charm she fell

Peering at the water she saw her own reflection

She jumped in for a swim for further inspection

No sign of their daughter her parents started to fear

Her Mother led the search for her

She found young Elise drowning in the well

Screaming, "mother, help me, I'm being pulled into hell"

Her father rushed to grab her hand

A human man, mortal chance did he stand

He saw the devil in her eyes

He struggled in the tug o' war for his daughter's life

A devious voice acknowledged him

"I dwell within; I the bearer of sin" 

Release your daughter, it's her time

For possession of her soul is rightfully mine!

Nice! I really like this, it has a very dark tone to it, but it is so well done! I noticed there were more parts to this, I'll go read right away! Awesome!
