”Hush”
”Hush,” he said
”Or I’ll leave you for dead.”
Bound and gagged,
blood dripped from her head
Sunlight fading,
bleeding into night
Hope's of tomorrow
Fall out of sight
Kicking the backs of her legs, so she kneels
“Tell me” he whispers
“Do you like how it feels?”
Taking his blade, he strokes her fair skin
Beads of blood drip from her chin
Tears stream down her panic-stricken face
While her delicate frame trembles and shakes
Heavy-handed
Skin like leather
Grabbing her waist
He pulls them together
She feels his breath rasping in her ear
As he takes his tongue and licks up her tears
“Have no fear, I’ve been doing this for years.”
Kissing her cheek, eyes wild, he sneers
Removing the gag,
he then pulls around her neck
“Hush” he orders
“Or I’ll leave you for dead.”

Wow! I guess any reader needs a moment after reading and taking it in Gwen.
And what a rush and such a fine balancing act to know how far to go.
A superb dark write showing how fearless you are with the theme on show.
also haunting for it leaves the reader wondering hoe it truly ends and that's so clever of you to leave that to one's imagination.
A great write and chillingly presented.
Thanks Gwen for sharing this onyx gemstone.❤️
My goodness Shaun you are eating up my poems :) wow thank you ever so very much 💛
I always love hearing your thoughts as you are always so very generous :)
Yes I was attempting to see if I could narrate a dark write. Sometimes I consider writing a book or graphic novel but then I chicken out lol
Thank you for being so supportive and leaving a comment here on this poem :) x
Gwen have tried repeatedly to give 5 stars but pinned to come back to.
For I've learnt when reading poems on here you can only do so when the ad above the poem loads.
So one to return to a give your poem its deserved just desserts.
And its a real kick in the poetry nuts!!
