Let Me Kill You Next

by Damian LaRue

I’ve killed today,
There’s blood on my blade.
Shadows of the moon,
Hide the souls that I’ve slayed.

Like a beast in the night,
I creep through the tombs,
Enjoying the taste
Of the flesh I’ve consumed.

An owl screeches wildly,
The wind sends a chill,
I’m cold and I’m lonely,
My heart’s full of evil.

From out of the darkness,
I enter your room.
The window was open,
Sealing your doom.

As you lay sleeping,
I cover you mouth.
Your screams will not wake,
The rest of the house.

They’re already dead,
They lie there as wrecks.
Hush, my sweet darling,
Let me kill you next!
