remembering
the cords around my wrists
the dark closet
`

from a distance
the sound of approaching
footsteps, closer

closer, the door
opening to reveal
the devil's face..............just~Q~

the devil
corrupting loved ones
from within........................RAS

the "tape recorder"
continues...........~Q~

the fiend's coup -
casting guilt upon
the victim.....................RAS

her midnight sobs
shake our bed reliving
the violence........................RAS

...dont look
into his
cold eyes...V

his eyes
dark and cold like
his heart...............~Q~

blackness
behind his eyes
where a soul should be....................RAS
-------
cannot
see the beacon
within......:)V
-------
beneath
his smile
an evil grin

Closet door locked tight
Screaming darkness for release
Parents sound asleep
