Hallucinosis

.....


He wrapped her in a cocoon of plastic wrap.
Piggish drool spat from his gaping hole
as he cursed at her some more.

Dead wasn't good enough for him.

She had been a blessing to her parents.
Her friends thought her very wise.
No one suspected his following eyes.

He had hung her by the neck, stabbed her in the chest.

He found some garlic in her refrigerator,
hammered it into the back of her head.
He tore her flesh from bone and fed himself,
long past her death.

"Satanic bitch," he screeched at the cellophane.
Her frozen face still stared up at him,
blue eyes frosted like a cake of ice.

"You won't sneak into my brain again!"
He felt her eyes look as he kicked her side.
"Why wont you die?" He screamed.

"Why wont you die?"

    Wow. You know, I don't know why I like dark poems, but I do adore them! This one kinda got to me though... because as soon as you mentioned the blue eyes, the girl I adore (I didn't say that ) and my beautiful sister, and they both fit that persona, and it freaked me out. But you know, that's exactly what makes it a great poem. That it evoked so much.

    I love it when people write about controversial stuff like this. I like trying to delve into people's minds. And this is one of your poems that never fails to do that. There are a few! Big fan of your writing
