Sock puppets killed my father

Don't let those pretty
Sewn on
Patchwork faces
Fool you
A killers glare they hide

They'll steal your soul
You flesh and blood
Everything
But leave your pretty eyes

Don't believe me?
I wouldn't either
In fact
I didn't at first

Not once did I think for a moment
That a childhood toy
Could be capable of such things
That an inanimate
Piece of tightly woven yarn
Could cause such
Damage

But please

I beg of you

Please

Believe me

It will come
When you least expect it
It will come

Cause such destruction
And you won't even see it coming

But don't ask me

Ask my father

Or rather

Ask his eyes

For that's all that still exist
Along with a
Tiny,
String,
Of yarn

Sock puppets killed my father

So throw them out

Lock your doors

And your windows

And whatever you do
When you sleep at night

Don't open your eyes
Until the morning light
Because that's when they strike
That's when they win

They always win

When a sock puppet decides
It's your time

You better be ready to run

Because there is nothing else you can do
No where else you can go

When a sock puppet finds you
Pray you keep your eyes shut
Or else, that is all you shall keep

A/N what did you think of this poem, it's different, and more of an experiment, in still not sure how I feel about it, but I'm posting it anyway, so give me your feedback.
