...lovers lounging in the morning light
She's lost--
     looking deeply into his eyes
As if he was a snake
She-  lost in his trance
The morning grew heavy
diminishing it's light
His expression of love
Suddenly switched
"It's coming, do you hear---
          I've warned you of this.."
Before she could question
       There was a loud screeching noise
Heavy footsteps-- shaken the door
           She grabs for her love
       He sat still
Cold to the touch
  Her eyes widened
As it gave her chills
" Is this real?! What's going on?!"
He turns to the door
      "I'm sorry baby-
   I can't save you this time."
The door swung open
Stood--
A woman wrapped in cloth
Hair like oil-- black as it ran
      Down her frail frame
Her eyes sealed shut--       A
Tarnished crown sits tilted
Upon
  her head
Her fingers were blades
      Stained with blood
This tormented soul
    Sniffed the air
"She's looking for you"
He said to his love
"W-wh-"
It heard her voice
It let out a loud scream
Her blades clanked together
As she raised them
It began to slice through whatever it ran into
Throughout the room
Slowly making it's way to --  Her.
Terrified She looks to her love
He's gone
Yet his voice faintly remains
"I can't help you this time"
She says aloud
"Why?! Help me!!!"
The entity switches it's direction
Crying out
  Begging for help
She hurriedly gets under the bed
           Luckily scissors were there too
As the creature stopped
   It began to smell the air again
From under the bed she noticed it's feet
Thinking she'd stab
To escape
          or to defeat
Drool from
The monstrous being fell upon her face
A tone
From her cellphone
Gave away her hiding
Place
She turns to mute
In turn
Now face to face
It's face she embraced
"It's me, no it can't be..."
They both let out screams
As it drugged her out
     Blades shoved deep within
             Her mouth
She woke up--
   It was just a dream
A nightmare
          Of the shadow me...

"Words often cut deeper than knives"
