Sweet Dreams Casey

The unravelling of the rag doll series

Sweet Dreams Casey

Jessica returns tired and needing rest
Casey turns her head and smiles
Wishing to be rid of this pest

She watches as the girl undresses
But notices some scars
Lashings from her fathers belt
Lighted by the stars

For some reason Casey feels a pulling
At her blackened heart
Although she plans to murder the family
She decides the father is the start

Jessica now dressed reaches for her doll
Surprised by her absence only beads left to roll
Casey makes her way downstairs, heads for a knife
kitchen is the closest option time to end a life

She makes her way to the dining room
the father in a suit
“why is that doll standing there”
He launches a piece of fruit

“Jackpot” it knocks down Casey
This doll now enraged
Knife in hand Jessica enters
Just as the murder is staged
“daddy look at my doll”
he barely takes a glance
“Jessica take that thing to bed
but first give daddy a dance”
The doll turns its head as the father
Reaches out a hand
Undressing his daughter
Casey doesn’t understand
Although clear to most
This doll remains unfazed
The sickening father takes advantage
While the mother is away

“now take your doll to bed”
The knife loosens Casey’s seams
Jessica now lays in bed sleeping
Her last words “goodnight sweet dreams”

Chilling, with a shocking twist; but excellently written in a clear strong voice. The last stanza is particularly powerful in its irony.
