Demon

Darling girl
Aren’t you so pretty
But what on earth are you good for
A worthless existence you must lead
But you are a special treat for me
You’re at the wrong place at the wrong time
What a pity for you my pretty
Now you are all mine

I have been so very hungry
So incredibly alone
Wasting away into a pile of bones
My eyes are hollow
I have grown bitterly cold and numb
What a pity for you my pretty
That you left that place you came from

A warm little body
With rosy cheeks and breasts
Frightened blue eyes darting
As I awaken from my long rest
You can sense something is amiss
Even though I am quiet and cunning
Don’t make me chase you, my pretty
It won’t do you any good running

Your eyes look like crystals
As tears run down your face
Your white skin is like velvet
Saturated with red and good taste
From the shadows I snatched you
Your softness no match for my sharp grip
Your body frozen and pale
Except for the pink of your lips

Darling girl
You were so pretty
And how delicious you were for me
The wrong place at the wrong time
Such a pity
For a precious little thing like you
I will creep back to the shadows
And wait satisfied in my lair
For another foolish, pretty girl
To lurk into my forest unprepared

The Killer Instinct Of A Demon Buried In The Past Which Remains Unseen Until The Right Moment In Time. Nice Catch To The Poem Sweetie. I Like The Darkness To It As The Demon Keeps Up The Hunt. :)

[Brian D. Billie]

enjoyed this! from here, speaks to that level of self which consumes, leaving wreckage in response, and never lets go of anything unless there is something greater which could possibly transcend all these levels of diplomacy!

wonderful write!

A fascinating look at a eerily disturbed
individual on the prowl. I like it …

[Sasha]

I really liked the rhythm and language you used. You did a great job telling the "demon's" story and it was chilling without trying too hard.

Vampire or Serial rapist/killer? Does it really matter?

Nice write.

This poem has a very dark message. The language is fantastic. The line 'such a pity' adds an unnatural rhythm which I found to be good in this case as an unnatural event was occurring.
