18 Seconds

by Katrina Boblina   Oct 16, 2005


18 seconds will go by
and your life will slip away
18 seconds of pain
where your tears will have to stay.

1,2,3 the knife digs silently in.
As you tremble for fear.
4,5,6 it slowly cuts you away.
screaming's all I hear.

7,8,9 I cover your mouth
too loud are your screams
10,11,12 again with the knife
I strike at your dreams.

13,14,15 The blood flows
my heart beating fast
16,17,18 the screamings then cease
I am finished at last.

I tuck away your body
It's the same old routine
A reminder of the time
when the devil counted to 18.

    Great job. I liked your use of counting to 18. It was very well written and I liked the rhyming very much, especially when you rhymed "routine" with "18". Very original. Good job! My fav. stanza was:

    "18 seconds will go by
    and your life will slip away
    18 seconds of pain
    where your tears will have to stay."

    It was a very good way to start the poem! Great job!
    Love always,
