Killer thoughts

Now I lay me down to sleep, and all these spirits start to creep...

When I lay myself down

The invasion of my mind begins

The darkness outlines

Evil grins

These evil spirits constantly

Pushing me to double up on my sins

Demons in my mind

Engraving thoughts of death

I can smell the devils acidic breath

Lucifer's on top of me

Doing the dance of death

With my eyes closed

I can see the cloaked one

Grab my wrist

I open my eyes

And see a black mist

Twisted disgusting thoughts

Of violent murders

Spill into my hemispheres

Spirits hovering above me

With bright golden eyes

Whispering amongst themselves

About my demise

I try to move

But I'm paralyzed

I try to scream

But I am mute

These entities

Continue to pollute

my mind

With images of me

Slaughtering 

My family

I suddenly hear a voice say

"Death and suicide are on your side"

These killer thoughts

Start to subside

My eyes get heavy

I finally fall asleep

Now

The 

Nightmares

Start to creep..

It's rare to see someone pull off morbid and dark and keep the poem rhyming. I could almost feel the dark tendrils coming off the screen with this. Job well done. ^_^

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much.
