Avenging Demon Lass

Black venom

noxious

thick

slithers through these veins

feeding upon

darkness

bleak thoughts

suicidal

pain fed

screech

horror

grip the bars

wrought iron

of this cage

howling

lines scored into skin

as you sing

once loose 

better run

cause I will come

hunting 

for you

for those who baited me

used me

sucked dry

heart

soul

husk 

on the side of the road

soft crooning

rocking

forth

back

madness

fired in your eyes

sanity

finger tip away

single touch

avenger

protector

huntress in the night

blood red lust

blinded dreams

gutted in the alley

left to bleed out.

Word of the Day Challenge #84-Untitled Poem

I sit

tears falling

blurred vision

all I can think of

is how I hurt you

how much I miss you

this throbbing ache

peering

blinded eyes

never again

together

held by you

chase the nightmares away

you became deeply entrenched

with blooded memories of my past

tangled webs

I cannot unwind

curled inward

grasping knees

piercing screams

wave after wave

venomous evil

washes over me

yawning

black pit

sucking me in

screaming

even as you held me

promising safety

protection

I know…..

I know you wished me no harm

I know you held me with love

I know…..

all you ever wanted

was to protect me true

eventually though

no one

but me

could protect me

with promise of haven

able was I

trust

held me close

chase the demons

spear them

protection

I found in your arms

only to realize

a part of the horror

the wicked dreams

forever entangled

in your love

wistful thinking

I’d be able to separate

horror from peace

in the end

I had to say good bye.
