A Hint of Death

Empty inside alone atlast

Silence fills the air

It stands in the empty street

Searching for it's next victim

Its lips curve to expose

A crooked smile with rotting teeth

Saliva gleems as he focuses in

He finds his goal

A child sits crying on a door step

Alone.

After a moment

There is again silence

The child cries no more

Theres a shine in it's eyes

As he places the lifeless body down

Proud of it's catch he moves on

Searching for more innocents

More unsuspecting victims

For it takes not age or health

Into consideration.

It zooms in

And takes every bit of life away

Crippling souls

Maiming lives

Taking everything

Having no conscious it feels no guilt

Seeing nothing in you

But a meal to feast on

You shrug it off

Until it strikes again

This time...

It's your blood it tastes.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Ok  I wrote this just today in my depression, death is something I'm becoming quite use to thes strikes out of no where taking the people that we love away from us, it doesn't care, nor will it ever. Any ways let me know what you think

Robin, this is an incredibly POWERFUL poem! You expertly express the ridicule, the pain and sorrow, and at last, the finality of death.

A very good poem ~
