Things I hear at Night


women screaming

blood pouring down my window

these are things I hear at night

chopping of bones

grinding of meat

these are things I hear at night

chrildern beaten

babies crying

Mothers pleading

these are things I hear at night

the crackel of fire

and the failing attempts

of water being splashed

I wonder

if they will come for me too

What horrible things

do they plan to do with me?

being pulled from my bed

I smell the smell of sulfur

The smell of burning flesh

ripping at my bed

No not tonight

I plead

Not again

scratching at the walls

Nails being pulled from my fingers

I cry out in pain

in anger

In frustration

LET ME GO!

I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

Tears dripping off my cheeks

blood dripping out from my fingers

the smell of dead fish come from ahead of me

What about little Jonny

do you think he had enough?

Or what about little Susie

you think she wanted the same fate
?
And if I let you go,

What do you think will happen to me?

Id have no purpose

Id have no reason

Pulled out into the street

Women being raped

Men tied up to telaphone poles

Nails driven threw their heads, necks, stomaches,

and dicks

soft moans of pain
These are things I hear at night

the chopping of trees

the barks and meows of pets

and the gutter

youd think full of water from the rain

turned red

from all the damned blood

These are things I hear at night

Or do I?

something soft

something welcoming

looking in to eyes,

red with hate

eyes rolling in to the back of my head

wondering if I live through the night

Something soft

something welcoming

a warm touch

the smell of human

the smell of puke

a warm touch

the smell of perfume

Wake up Wake up

Its all in your head

Wake up Wake up

its not real.

These are things I hear at night.
