The reluctant rays of moonlight fall lazily through the blinds
Playfully the light caresses her sleeping self
So serene
So calm
The room smells of warmth and tastes like silk
The blankets cocoon around her as petals of a flower
There she lays in all her restless beauty
A lock of hair twisting at rosy cheeks
A steady breath puffing contentedly from parted lips
Then a door creaks
The cold light of the moon
Jabs unmercifully at her comatose form
The sharp reverberation of footsteps
Come steadily towards her
Her protective blankets are silently lifted
And a vice slithers about her waist
He brings with him the smell of a winter’s day
And the taste of broken glass
Oh how oblivious is she
As she lays so serenely
In the devil’s nest
Peacefully she sleeps
In his clinical caress
She turns in her slumber
But doesn’t truly awake
She leans in for a kiss
And doesn’t realize
Everything that it takes
She laughs and she smiles
Unaware of his malice
She wears rose tinted frames
And drinks lies from a chalice
He has built his little kingdom
Of havoc and despair
None of it she sees
Through her rosy frames
Accepting is she
Of his little games
They’re innocent
She thinks
As she’s pulled further in
They’re harmless
She breathes
Unaware of his sin
Oblivious child
Run, I plead
Beautiful darling
He’s closing his reach
Her essence so bright
And his all consuming
Pretty baby
Can’t you see
The danger looming?
