Midnight Madness Part 7: "Tell Tale of a Heart"

by Ronald Edwards   Sep 2, 2010


As in the scales of justice
darkness lost out to light.
The evening craved by Midnight
was morphed from wrong to right.

Sunbeams broke thru curtain cracks,
came searching on the floor.
Looking more and more just like
the long arm of the law.

I gathered my unholy gift
wanting nothing left behind.
The room was free from fingerprints
for anyone to find.

The carpet had a well-worn path
going to the door.
With great distain I walked the walk
from the night before.

I pushed the button on the wall
of the elevator shaft.
As I entered the garage
I heard that evil laugh.

Hello Jekyll gurgled out
Did you like my gift?
I did those two, was all in fun.
Do you catch my drift?

Midnight youre a crazy F__K !!!
They didnt have to die!
I made it clear when we last spoke,
I wont be your fall guy.

Was then I noticed in the darkness
both his eyes were red.
Two balls of crimson glowing brightly
like the living dead.

Jekyll what I did last night
is no concern of yours.
I skinned him bare and bleed her out,
the both of them were bores.

This much I can say to you
before our paths depart.
You will listen to a pounding
tell tale of a heart.

    Good descriptions once again in continuing your story. Emotions are all over the place in each piece and they each bring something new. Good job and keep writing.

    It is like fighting with an inner demon who
    drains you from inside out. Very descriptive
    as well as interesting!
