Not Another Love Poem: topic - Horror
Do you hear that?

Silence
No creature makes a sound
Outside the walls
That stand as your protection
A barricade that won’t stand up
Against the demons of the night

Just wait
There is no use in running
They will get you
No matter what you do
But the question is

Which will get to you first?

The Windigo perhaps
Who could break through the walls
As if they were made of twigs
Just one bite
For you to become
One of them

Make sure to check under the bed

Or the Zombie
That was once a friend
A different kind of bite
Feeding off your flesh
But easier to fend off
Than the rest

Keep emotions under control

The Poltergeist
Will not be stopped
By the man made material
You have around you
Soul stealing a pleasure
For this being that lacks
The physical body that was once
Useful but now lies in the ground

Don’t let the candle go out

Must not forget the Vampire
Remnants of the fabled Dracula
Thirsty
Always full of desire
To bite into sweet flesh for blood
Your life force

It is just a dream
Or your imagination
Is what you keep telling yourself
This couldn’t be real
There is nothing out there
Illusions and shadows playing tricks
Just a phantasy and nothing more

Behind you
Pressure unforeseen
Then the darkness of nothing

You have been bitten
