This story was 1st place in my coven's contest.
Peace
“Sweet, are the thoughts that run through my mind
My heart
One moment’s peace
One glimpse of your world
Just one moment
Then it’s gone
Slashed in two by a devils blade
By this evil called conscience”
A girl awakens, screaming as if in great pain. Dark, every thing is so dark. She can’t see a thing. Raising her head she notices a faint light coming from a small window. Struggling to move she realizes she has been restrained. “Oh yes… my little white jacket with the long arms…..Ha! Ha! Ha! I’m still in my cage. Still I am held prisoner by the demons in the white lab coats. FOOLS! All of them are fools” she yells.
The girl in the corner of the thickly padded room pulls her knees up towards her chest then rests her head down upon her boney little knees. Whispering, she begins to speak to some that simply is not there.
“I tried to tell them of your coming. Of the world you will create. But no… can’t believe the crazy girl. “Poor thing as just lost her mind” they say. “Let’s lock her up” then they feed me these pretty pieces of poison, like I don’t understand the difference between the real world and fantasy land. If only they could see the things you show me. See the beauty of your Hell on earth. You are so miss understood. And they have no clue what you’re bringing to us, real peace. Not false hope. Not the damnation they claim, filthy liars. They are the ones that deceive us. Shove the promise of love and tranquility down our throats. The very thought makes me sick!”
“It’s so hard waiting for you…I feel so alone in my battle to free you my sweet master. But for now I have my dreams. I can be with you there and those fuckers can’t touch me”.
Slowly the girl stands and moves closer to the little window in the steel door. Peering out, she can see the “doctors” doing their rounds.
Stepping back she lets out a haunting scream and runs toward the door once again
Not stopping to look this time, but smashing her already scared face into the glass as hard as she can. With a sinister grin upon her now bleeding face, she tries to do it once more
But the evil lab coated lackeys have taken notice and opened the door. Falling into the arms of one she giggles with anticipation at what is to come next. She does not bother to fight them as they stab her with the needles, but gives a deep sigh of sweet relief. She drifts back into the realm of dreams as they drag her back to the mattress on the floor. Now she lays there with a sweet, almost innocent smile upon her face. The doctors leave the room. One stops to close the door, shaking his head he says: “It’s so hard to believe that little girl is responsible for over two thousand deaths”. The door is locked tight and the girl has one more moment of peace….
This poem won me my 1st year of premium membership.
Falling in Love
I am being hunted
I can feel him following me every where I go
Smell the putrid stench of love that envelopes him
Feel his eyes watching me
Burning into my flesh as he takes his aim
Panicked I look for him
I know he’s close
There
I see him
His evil smile
The shine of his stinger
His arrow
Run away
That is what I must do
Hide from his evil intent to infect me with the deadly poison of love
I must not fall victim of this disease again
So I run
Heart racing
My fear raising
Like an animal he stalks me
Smells my fear
Hears my heart
Run
Run for my life
My sanity
I can no longer see where I am going
The tears have blinded me
Please
Not again
I will not survive this torture
Not this time
Shit!
Dead end
No way out
Turning I put my back against the wall
Wipe the tears from my eyes
Blink
Then focus on the bringer of my destruction
Horrified
I try to scream but no sound escapes from my mouth
I cant breath
He looms over me like the shadow of death
I cant move
The fear has frozen me
So I watch in horror as he pulls back his arrow
Holding it
He winks at me
Then lets it go
And all I can do is watch
Petrified
Watch as the poison races toward my heart
I feel the impacted
The flesh parting
Providing a clear path
Then plunging hard into my heart
The tears now run red
Falling against the wall
I reach for the arrow
Trying to pull it out
But my arms fail me
I can feel the venom coercing through my body
Burning every cell
Nothing left
It has all gone now
Sliding to the ground I can see his confusion
Am I the first?
Has he never seen this before?
Grounding himself, he bends down on one knee and pulls me into his arms
He looks so puzzled
I reach up and touch his face
Wet
Is he crying?
With my last breath I struggle to speak
Do not cry for me. I have done this to myself. I have chosen death over the pain of love.
He looks so fragile
Like a child made of glass that could shatter at any moment
My strength fading I go limp in his arms
Leaning down he kisses me then whispers in my ear
I know not what in your life made you give up on love.
But I hope that in the next life love will find you and make you happy.
With that I close my eyes and drift away into the darkness
Free of my mortal coil
Free of the tortures of love and life
