Darkness...In The Eyes of a Child

Some people wanted to know....

I will let you see with my words,

I will let you burn and observe.

But where I go you can only follow.

So close your eyes, open your mind and see.

 

 

 

Jackals laughing in the distance,

Hearing the demons scream

Echoing in the blackness

A little girl living in her dreams.

 

An ordinary house,

Going through her ordinary life

Haunted memories past

Her childhood life, her future strife.

 

Barely understood nightmares

Drenched in pools of blood

But the devil has gone missing

Maybe it's time for you to run.

 

She lies still,

In an empty blackened room

Brother and sister just coming home

Emotions like a super sonic boom.

 

He stays within the shadows

A covered mask of sin

Mesmerized by what he's done

He let the devil inside him win.

 

Alcohol poisoned,

Scorned a woman who cared

A family now living in tragedy

And a child now living scared.

 

Taken away,

By the black and the blue

Chained forever to this memory

This story I tell, is true.

 

Today he still lives,

Just a few days more to die

To a daughter he doesn't exist

And I will never even say goodbye.

You just have no Idea how .....
POWERFUL
INTENSE
that was.
It gripped my very core.
Of everything I have felt in another perspective how our lives do connect.

It's dark and scary, but at the same time, wonderfull to read. It flows really well, and held me there thinking 'I NEED to read this! I NEED to!'.

The power of this piece forever stays in my mind like a fine stamped cameo. I am not sure how to really experience the wave splashing over me as I come to the end of reading. It was a well penned delight.

This poem choked the life out of me.
Dark and visually stunning.
