Signature Please

the storm was fierce
the rain was blinding
a bit of spilled blood
and the contract's binding

he'd follow her home
she'd be unaware
she'd use the parking garage
he, the servant's stairs

he'd show patience
wait until the lights were dim
no room for mistakes
no rushing or whims

slowly he'd creep
through the blackening night
not a sound he would make
he had planned this out right

he savored the thought
she might struggle and fight
and was anxious but cautious
to finally get her in sight

after all...
this was Halloween night
what better time
to cause one some fright

as he rounded the corner
he could see her room
but was suddenly overtaken
with a sense of dread and gloom

his feet would not move
they were dead weight
she opened her bedroom door
and said, "hello there my date"

fear swept his body
like never before
he wanted to run
but was stuck to the floor

she said, "you came for my blood
but it is all mine.
Now about this contract
you thought I'd sign

I've been where you are
and back again
I've taken the life
of many of men.

I think tonight
I'll take yours too
but first you'll suffer
before I'm through."

he was in trouble
his plans had gone awry
if he didn't think fast
he would surely die

he could hear the thunder
and the wind picking up outside
with continuous lightning lighting the room
his trembling hands he could not hide

he became terrified when she came at him
with a sword making a motion as if to poke
when suddenly he heard familiar voices
"Happy Halloween, this was all a joke!"
