#5 on the Never Ending List

Can you feel

my breath

my wishes

upon the nape of your neck?

Following

sidling through shadows

close upon your mark

glance around

right

left

hear that giggle?

Soft

crazy

welling from darkness

run dear daddy run

here comes little Susie

is that a knife or a gun?

Who knows what weapons will be employed.

Crafting upon skin

signs

sigils

keep the evil in

let the innocence out

death follows so close

no longer bothering to be quiet

swallowing the sudden shriek

stepping back from crimson arc

watching body fall

another one saved

time to walk away.
