A silent, cool breeze flows through the town
Leaves rustle on the branches extended out above the ground
Mist from the morning dew rises from deep in the forest
Birds chirp out from high above in a peaceful chorus
Wind takes in a deep breath
Birds fly away, leaving not one soft tune left
Quietness fills the empty town
A stench of death gradually lurks around
Fog suddenly thickens, for the bare eye cannot see through
A feeling inside sickens, this feeling is far from new
The fog disperses, that face becomes very clear
I knew of this face, it struck me with fear
My eyes gazed upon this face
This horrible past memory, I could not replace
But who, who I say, who could I blame?
I cannot forget, not this unspeakable pain
How did this begin, you may ask
It just happened all so fast
I never dreamed of this dismay
I never felt any sorrow, until that dreadful day…
…As bright and energetic I may have appeared
No one else knew the troubles I sought out that year
Everyone seemed to think I was happy and satisfied
But they were wrong, I was horrified
Each night I cried while I was sleeping
Each day I spent my time always weeping
I hid my emotions, I threw them aside
I wanted to tell someone, I honestly tried
Yet when I finally stood up and spoke out
No one understood what I was talking about
Then, that unfaithful day arrived
That beast, that ghastly monster came into our lives
She was ruthless, no care in the world
That nightmare, who stole that poor little girl
I plead, I wept, but my efforts became relentlessly distressing
Days and weeks passed, my struggles were upsetting
I could not hold on to my dear friend
Her innocent memories came to an end
She became the very thing I sought out to flee from
But her sweet voice still tries to come
Back into existence, but her anger took hold
Lies forced upon her, made her cold
Her heart turned into ice
Everything she once loved would soon be sacrificed
That monster, that horrible beast stole my beloved friend
I ached in many places, I just could not comprehend
Why did you take her life?
You took her and killed her spirit with that bloody knife
And now you return
With fire in your eyes that continuously burn
You hideous, ugly troll
You come back wanting another soul
I will not and shall not allow this to arise
You will be destroyed, as well as your demise…
…The shadow stood still during that unpleasant night
Still frozen, I could not look away without a fight
I refuse to be her victim, be apart of this endless game
No won will win; it will only bring a great deal of shame
The shadow suddenly jolted out and sprang into the air
I fell back, I screamed, but my eyes still stared
The cold ground brought a chill down my spine
Or was that caused by the monster who shouted out a loud wine
I could not move, so I closed my eyes
I heard a soft voice, filled with lies
“You will never win; you will die like the rest.”
Shocked and confused, my emotions became a mess
I opened my eyes, overwhelmed with fear
But all I saw was blackness so close, so near
My own face in a mirror…

- Artist: Aquamarine_501
- Description: This was an assignment for my science fiction horror class. We had to write a short horror story and I decided to turn it into a poem. The ending does seem to catch people off guard, but I wrote this from a past experience that still haunts me. It's a bit long because it had to reach 3 pages, so I hope you like it and enjoy....
