The darkness of the night
Blood rains down like rain during a storm
A body torn and frayed lays on the ground
Hidden away beneath brushes that surround
The stench of death hanging unwanted in the air
That no spray can remove
What is left of the eyes of the dead
Stare continuously at unknown space
Everyone becomes terrified
Of what the forest during the nights
An unknown force continues even during the day
Even if they run they can’t escape it
It creates fun, decorating the decayed
Rotting flesh of the dead
There is no end for it will last forever
Until everything it touches
Has perished an unforgettable death
No one will ever forget
The blood covers the branches
Drip, drip, drip
Blood is falling to the ground
Like the sprinkling of rain before the downpour
Another one has fallen
It is a never ending attack on everyone around
There is no stopping it
Death is its only grantee
Nothing can save you and me
We will perish like those before us have
Then when we die
Everything will fade to black

Tres dark!
This was tres dark! This was cold, suspenseful, like something lout of a horror film. Terrific work! (This is also my way of repaying you for your review of my work).
