The Butcher [August 30, 2016]

Poetry

He carves her body with his blood-stained Knife

He laughs as she bleeds, as he takes her life

He chops the meat up, wraps it by the slice

Puts it in the freezer, buried in the ice

 

They wonder where she went, she's still missing on the news

But she's dead, they're searching for evidence being consumed

The meat so tender, he wears her scent like a perfume

While he devours her, the police cancel their pursuit

 

He finds another victim, walking alone at night

He creeps up behind her, She doesn't put up a fight

She awakes in a basement, blood visible in the dim light

Crimson trickles from a table, wrapped meat stacked tight

 

The butcher walks slowly down his dusty stairs

She pulls at her chains, after seeing his apron and wares

He grabs his blood-stained knife and walks towards her

He stabs her in the chest, and starts cutting without a word

 

She screams and fights, but loses too much blood

She dies with a look of horror on her face, her head drops with a thud

He carves the meat after having his delicious fun

Alone in his basement, he eats with the rising sun
