Horror and Supernatural There is a memory that comes back to me
It terrified me then and terrifies me now
From the time that I was three
I hope it makes sense somehow
I remember lying in my room
Another night of rest to fill my head
and through the window and the gloom
the crescent moon embraced my bed
It cast a pall against the wall
Where shadows played for my eye
And outside my door in the hall
Came a sound that made me cry
From my peace came the sound
Of something dragging on the floor
In my throat my heart was found
As came a creaking from the door
With eyes wide and trembling lip
I watched the door opened just a crack
I shot up quick like a whip
And felt the wall against my back
Two red eyes shone near the floor
Two red eyes that left me cold
A mangled hand grasped the door
But those two red eyes like dying coals!
"Ssssoooo tassssty" came a voice
That rasped and pierced my very soul
"Tender meatsss, that's my choice"
I fainted on the spot - passed out cold
In the morning, startled, I awoke
I looked around for a trace
For a voice that terror spoke
But no trace of eyes, no claw nor face
I ran from my room and heard a cry
I went to the room where my sister slept
And with fear and sorrow I did fly
To find my parents as they wept
In the night while demons played
My baby sister died
In this house where love did stay
Happiness to me lied
..........
It's been many years since that cursed event
And I've come to see reality
Professional time and help well spent
Showed it was only my childish frailty
Just a dream and nothing more
She died of causes not unheard
No eyes or claws at my door
From the demon not a word
I married happy in my life
A wonderful woman set me free
No better woman for a wife
Now with my baby we are three
My little girl so beautiful to see
When she sleeps I miss her
I cannot believe she is part of me
We named after my little sister
But last night as I slept
In my dreams I tossed and wept
And like a flood deep and wet
Came a promise long un-kept
At my side, on my bed
Not five inches from my head
two glowing eyes; liquid pools of bloody red
I heard a brittle rasp that said:
"Ssssoooo tassssty" that awful voice!
"tender meatsss, that's my choice!"
I felt a stroke across my cheek
Cold and sharp it made me weak
I could not move, I could not speak,
My wife just lay there fast asleep
You know what happened, I need not say
What I found in the light of day
If you should see red eyes your way
and hear a voice "ssssooo tassssty" say
Pack up your family, do it today!
Run away run away run far away
