Oh that so stains the sheets blood red.

Doors locking, like thoughts rushing through the minds of babes

Whispers, soft, upon battered ears now deaf

Can you hear them?

Listen….

Close your eyes.

(Ah yes, there they are)

Slowly moving towards you

Inside you

(Hurry!!! Grab hold!)

Quickly hands move

Choking the life out of the memories

Oh that so stains the sheets blood red.

Hateful words coming forth

(Don't let them in!)

(Sssshhhhhh. She will hear)

And you wait. Huddled in the deepest corner..

Footsteps slowly leaving, moving away

A sigh of relief.

Yet too soon.

She is there, behind you..

(Oh God!)

Sharpened claws ripping open, shredding, tearing,

Your very existence, life passing before eyes of mist

And for a moment,

Just that single moment.

You smile.

 

Gone now.. Lifeless eyes staring ahead.

Oh that so stains the sheets blood red.

Such strong descriptions! I was lost in this poem, the wording is so nice and profound that the images are hard to avoid, and painted very very nicely. Great write.
