soul eater

Hush now,
no,
not a sound
eyes to the corner,
he's not playing around
standing in the shadows
he waits
removal of your soul
will be your fate

standing 8 feet tall
with eyes of coal
his stare burns right
into your soul
long slender fingers
with blackened sharp nails
he will tear you open like a christmas cracker
With a haunting wail that cuts you to the core
Your eyes move to the open door 

feet now stuck
can’t move if you tried
As he knows he installs fear inside
try as you may there is no place to hide

goose bumps protrube from ever open pore
cold shivers envelope your skin
He reaches out you cannot win
Deep into your body his hand goes
eyes locked open as you feel his grasp
deep breath now as you start to gasp

Cold icy fingers grab hold of your soul
Funny how no blood to follow
feeling cold as soul starts to depart 
all thats left is a slow beating heart 
body drained of all its blossom
lungs that still feed this empty vessel
the next time you enter your room
turn on the light or you could be the next he consumes
