Shadows move across the wall
whispering voices fill the hall
glinting silver, pointed knives
listen cause this is no lie
someone here shall die
footsteps sound as they come near
laughing voices fill the air
I am aware of eyes on me
dare I open mine to see?
darkness hovers
I freeze under the covers
something touches my throat
its cold and sharp
a harsh whisper fills the my ear
there is no hope for my fear
My body's shaking violently
a knife pressed to my throat
a bead of sweat mingles with a tear
a kiss on my cheek from dry cold lips
a trickle of blood ... becomes a pool
Alas it is over
said and done
my body cold and drained
warm blood runs down my neck
my eyes are cold
laughter fading with the footsteps
Day is dawning
I am not yawning
limply lying
listen to the drops of blood
they form a flood on the floor
running slowly out the door
Find me victim of silent murder

niaish for entering and for sharing
6 old applause
