Wail

I hear it again
Bawling
Sniffles drive a crack
Into my icy heart
Pity struggles to broke the hold
That indifference has over my soul

I ignore

Slowly, painfully slowly,
It dies down

I breath a sigh of relief
Shoulders straightening
Bowed head lifting
Eyes clear and sharp
Yet my soul wanders aimlessly

Then the cries start up again
And I
Freeze.

Fear clouds my vision
That...that monstrous being!
So tiny, so innocent
It hurt me to wrap my hands
Almost lovingly embracing it
Into death's choke hold

Slowly, too slowly, I succumb
To the temptation of looking back
At the being that stained my hands
With overflowing blood
How could a baby have so much blood

I turn around

But there's nothing
It's gone

I can still hear it's blood chilling wails

HORROR POEM

It was creepy to me

Especially after realising he had murdered a baby

It's giving me chills

See yeah later
