Run For Your Life

by Beautiful Chaos   Nov 6, 2007


A heart is pounding in a chest,
It cannot stop,
It cannot rest,

Fear has filled the air tonight,
Drowning lungs,
Squeezing tight.

Screams are held deep inside,
Make no sound,
Run and hide,

Your flesh, this evening, is the feast,
If you can't,
Escape this beast.

You hear him nearing and you freeze,
Blood runs cold,
You beg God please,

Do not let him take me now,
Give me something,
Show me how.

You know not if he hears your call,
You cannot sit,
You start to crawl,

On your belly, in the dirt,
You did not know,
Until it hurt.

Skin now ripping, screams unheard,
None to know,
What has occurred,

He drains you of your crimson life,
Bathed in blood,
He licks the knife.

One more notch inside the mind,
Of a mad man,
Left behind,

Left to fester, evil grows,
But where it strikes,
No one knows.

    Okay. I frigging loved this.

    I found this to be both original and unique in concept, and it kept me interested throughout the entire piece.

    Flow was perfect throughout and the imagery you portrayed was beautifully done, it created such vivid pictures that it was like I could -see- everything that was happening.

    This is beautifully written.
