Sacrifice

Tick. Tock.

The hands swing by

as someone told not a lie

Pitter-patter.

The rain cries

as they sharpen the knives

Tap . . . tap . . .

tap . . . tap . . .

A finger moves

wonder whose?

Their fingers grip the blade

before they can even fade.

The blade in their hand

bound together, like a band.

. . . silence . . .

. . . nothing but silence . . .

STAB!

their core

and nothing more

slicing downwards

then upwards

Drip. Drip.

onto the floor

towards the door.

There it laid

where it made

a pool of liquid

when they rid

of a ripe strawberry

for the merry

and for the things

we call demons
