The woman was so completely afraid
she just wanted to die
her nerves now completely frayed
no longer tears to cry
the family she loved had expired
exhausted and tired!
One other was here in this residence
the son she had born
not normal but brooding and intense
the happiness torn
against his cunning they had no chance
as on each he did advance!
He saw no love nor for them any affection
void of any emotion
like an animal caged he had no connection
by instinct not devotion
thought of them purely as his prey to stalk
on all four limbs did walk!
Had broken free from his shackles and prison
the beast began to roam
the smell of blood within in him his lust risen
this place a lair not home
his mother was afraid she being the last alive
had lost the will to survive!
Could not let her son destroy anybody outside
knew him she had to kill
it had to be done from him no longer could hide
this last act had to fulfill
sat in the nursery with her son had been born
feeling alone scared and forlorn!
That moment arrived sensing he was getting near
a growl not a human sound
an odor of putrefied flesh made her task more clear
for she had been found
as the beast lunged for her body the knife she held
pierced its chest the son felled!
Silence for the mother lay crushed under the weight
afraid no more the monster defeated
none left to tell the frightening tale of fear and hate
or the horrors to be repeated
until one day a distant cousin knocked on the door
regretting that move for sure!
The Foureyed Poet.
