Fear

by Lady Vengeance   Jul 17, 2006


Drip, drip, drip,
Turn the tap on more
Relax and let the water soothe
The feeling that there's more

The fear is not of what you see
But what you do not know.
The chills start creeping up your spine
The scraping sound does grow

A coldness takes over your skin
Although the water's warm
The glass heats up from showers mist
As droplets start to form

Shadows flicker, now they're gone
You're choking on your fear
Calm down, deep breaths, it's ok
If you screamed who would hear?!?

Now you know you're not alone
Try and look through the glass
Lean closer, you won't see him hit
The blow was made too fast

The axe has shattered through the side
Embedded in your face
The cracking sound of broken bone
A corpse in a glass case

The thud of flesh and bone to tiles
Now death takes hold its grip
Thick warm blood runs down the drain
Drip, drip, drip

    I like how you repeated the last and first line.. and I just really enjoyed reading it. It's different from what you normally read. Great job.
