A little poem I made for Halloween. Enjoy~

Closer, closer, close,

​

Today is the day,

Today is the day,

Where I finally can come out and play.

​

I've had my sights on you for awhile,

Yes, how I hope your struggle is so worthwhile.

My blade glistens beneath the moonlights beams,

For it is your life it'll take tonight, at the seems.

​

You've been care free,

You've been lazy,

Tonight is not the night, for you to be hazy.

​

I hide in the shadows, and I watch from a distance,

I know my persistence wont be met with any resistance.

Right on queue you're just now leaving work, it begins,

You must have known the one who strikes first, often wins.

​

Footsteps lost in the echo,

Footsteps so light, so mellow,

I've always been told I'm quite the odd fellow.

​

My heartbeat quickens, anticipation rises, I quiver,

Hard to contain delight as my blood flows, like a river.

You must always shred the broken body from the mind,

For I will grant you immortality through deaths design.

​

Wow, how I hope you pray!

Wow, how I've dreamed of this day!

Wow, Hip! Hip! Hooray!

​

There it is, your house I missed oh, so much,

Tonight I am the judge, but know this isn't a grudge.

I carefully make my way behind you through, the dark,

But suddenly, the neighbors dog began to ... bark!?

​

Oh no! Seriously stupid mutt, its time to hush!

Oh no! I stab it quickly, causing its blood to gush!

Oh no! I notice you run inside fast, why must you rush!

​

I take heed, and follow but you made a grave mistake,

Never locked the door? Sigh what a bore, so opaque.

Unfortunately for you, I can hear you moving upstairs,

Pleasantly sure, no one will intervene our grim affairs!

​

Footsteps lost in the echo,

Footsteps so light, so mellow,

I cannot wait to find you, and say hello.

​

Down the hall, into the farthest room,

I hear breathing, that's where you'll meet your doom.

As I enter the room, my heart is set aflutter!

But you're talking? What is it that you mutter?

​

"Closer",

"closer",

"close",

​

Silence, had began to fill the air once more,

As I inserted my knife, blood began to pour and pour.

I laughed as I continued to slash, and slash!

Bloody mess, an unholy circus as I left gash, after gash!

​

Finally, nothings impossible.

Finally, totally un-analyzable.

Finally, I left her corpse totally unrecognizable.

​

Oh, and to the reader? Heh, heh, you're next I'm afraid,

You could have left but you read, and you stayed.

For that you see? I'm currently on my way.

Here's a tip. Watch the shadows; that's where I stay.

​

Ha, Ha, Ha,

Ha, Ha,

Ha,

​

(Happy Halloween)
