I See…..

I see that smile

I see the truth

I know what lies

behind the silver tooth

I know that no good will be had

pain

anguish

thoughts of death

I have been here

I will not fail

I will not let fall

any more children.

One

two

three

four

children missing

through the door

five

six

seven

eight

oh dear

you are too late.

Grimace

charge to door

late

to the dance floor

dagger in hand

vengeance

let us go darling

can you fox trot?

Watch

ebb

flow

crimson river

your screams

muffled

cautious

I wait

your life

flowing away.

They heralded me a champion.

They heralded me a saviour.

They herald me

when they never heard me

they…..

are as guilty as him.
