Poem 39: Violent Nights

Crying in my bed

As another friend is dead

Bleeding in pain

I am going insane

Soaked by the torture

I am scared of the vultures

Devil in disguise

I can't open my eyes

Breathing so heavy

This feeling is Chevy

Couldn't escape

Is this my fate?

Locked behind the gate

Just to be safe

Hold on, wait

This is late

I am bait

Just a mistake

Monsters are fake

Four becomes eight

My life is at stake

My pace steady

I stay ready

Footsteps approaching

I hasten my motion

Swerving the corners

I had reached the border

Closing the door

I couldn't see them anymore

Tucked in my bed

Blood rushing to my head

My ears turned red

I hid under my bedspread

The room darkened

My heart hardened

Solid as my face

Handling a cold case

Feeling my soles from my paces

This is the final game.
