"Shush ... hush now baby..."

A smile, it's gruesome, it's dark and it's black,
it's a caress in a deep slash across his face.
Blinking the blackness, brief moments of waking,
to see him while he isn't thinking she's awake.

A flicker, the zipper, a snap and zap
the light eats the body of a fly.
He raises his hands from behind his back,
to caress the slender blade of a knife.

A scream that climbs, cries behind,
a gag he has made certain was in place.
It binds her head within a strap,
and hides from him her face.

But not her eyes, holes break the hood,
to expose what are beautiful, baby blues,
rimmed in red and swollen a bit,
but certainly a lovely sort of hue.

Tear drops wet are fallen now,
"shush, hush now baby don't you cry,
I can see you are scared but there's nothing to fear,
for I'm here and I've only this knife.
You have a chance, you know it still,
you've a will and you are willing to try.
So shh, shush ... hush now baby,
because I cannot bear to see you cry."

He'd brought her through a blackened place,
a blindfold had stolen her sight.
And while he'd kept his destination safe,
he'd made certain she had known why.

He'd wound and bound and made the hold,
for certain that she could never flee.
Whispering things in constant flow,
so scared that she had begun to pee.

Her urine wet it blended in with,
the stench of sweat, sex and debris.
The rot of the bed she had been living in,
for some months now ...days or weeks...

  ****************

He hovers near, she knows he's close,
But the hood makes it hard to see,
So she wrestles with fear and the want for air,
remaining still as a babe in sleep.

*****************

He smiles and nods, even laughs aloud,
"you pretend, it is quite easy to see.
You shiver and quiver and practically beg,
with your body for the want of me."
He caresses her, with his own blue eyes,
then the knife there under the tears.
"Shush, hush now baby..." He nudges her thighs,
"Don't you cry now, cause I'm right here."
He strokes her face with the side of the blade,
she stops breathing just thinking that he might,
by turning his hand and with out delay,
slash her throat right there with his knife.
"Shush, hush now baby.." He is heard to say,
stroking her face as he takes hold of her head.
She stifles a cry, it is to hard to deny,
and it reminds him that she isn't yet dead.
His grin is wide, it slashes his face,
with a gash of red that makes him seem,
mad as mother fucker and hauntingly familiar,
to she who is gagging and drowning in screams
"Shh, shush ... hush now baby..." tears begin to bleed,
as he turns his knife and cuts out her eyes,
"I told you ...your crying was just too hard to see."

Sightless and certain that death shall arrive,
in any moment as she struggles to continue to breathe.
He is lying aside her, his hands holding her eyes,
with his other hand then opening her knee's.

Her eyes would be wide, had she them still,
they roll in the bloody palm of his hand.
He shoves the hilt of his knife, into her slice,
and begins to mumble and curse and demand.

He is harder with her, harder then the rest,
he rips and he tears and he cuts,
he breathes all the while into her ear,
while doing exactly as he knows he must.

Soon the screams subside and the blood from her eyes,
leaves her twitching, but little if anything more.
Her life at an end, held in his hand,
but he can't seem to stop like with the others before.

He plunges and pushes, turns and thrusts,
continuing to brutally murder between her thighs,
Digging in deep and dragging out from within,
the one reason she couldn't survive.
The one reason they all had to die......

"Shh, shush...hush now baby,
I am here now, don't you fear and don't you cry.
I can see your afraid by that look on your face,
and the fear there frozen in your eyes.
Shh, shush...hush now baby,
for your crying it's killing my head,"
And he takes those eyes
and shoves them between her thighs,
so that he never has to see them again.
"There, shh, now there's no more baby,
no more, there's no more don't you cry."
Rocking to and fro in a pool of blood,
"you can't fear what you see without eyes."
