» Poem: HIM
HIM
written by devil-dick
02:57 PM 8/9/04
things are getting strange, im starting to worry.
i hear footsteps behind me, i start to hurry.

i turn a corner, im in a dark street.
i go to turn around, and its HIM i meet.

i see HIM in front of me, knifes at the ready.
i notice his drunken stance, unable to be steady.

his eyes seem to glaze, as he tightens his grip.
his voice cracks through the air like a whip.

he bares his teeth, all crooked and brown.
his breath is so rank. it makes me frown.

to realise the pain he has put me through.
to see the world as something new.

a world of mis-fortune and pain.
a world where one has so much to gain.

all lost by a single man, evil to the heart.
hoping to make me and my world part.

to ripe the joy and happiness from my life.
by using nothing but his sharp knifes.

i turn to flee, to make my legs work and run.
but to him its a chase, nothing more than fun.

i manage to lose him finaly, but not for long.
i hear his drunken laughter, to him its a song.

i head for home, but not able to find my way.
im lost in his world, nothing more than a stray.

a place so dark, with no shimmer of light.
a place where to survive, you fight.

where the weak wont survive to live.
no matter who their with.

to HIM its a place of sadistic joy.
like a child destroying his favourite toy.

to me its a nightmare, revolving aoround hell.
unable to escape, boy thats swell.

so i spend my life running around.
trying to make myself unable to be found.

to escape from a place which hosts HIM.
to find a light, no matter how dim.

many years has past, and im still on the run.
hoping to make HIM bored of the fun.

still searching for my safety light.
not willing to be like HIM and fight.

but i know to get out, its HIM i have to face.
i search his city, for a weapon like a mace.

something strong and easy to use.
and i hope, i just hope i dont lose.

i dont have to look for HIM, as he found me.
nows the point i wish someone else i copuld be.

but i use my brains and skill.
i muster up my courage and will.

its a fight to the death, between me and HIM.
we circle around, as if on a rim.

we both dive at each other for the kill.
he uses his weight, i use my skill

he goes for a blow, misses my head.
i just wish i was in bed.

i swing hard and aim for his face.
i hit it full force with my mace.

i see the damage i've done.
and i know i've won.

i go to turn when i feel a crack to my skull,
i slump to the floor as he charges like a bull.

i realise he has beaten me and won the fight.
but for some reason, i can see a light.

i can still feel the blood in my hair, and on my face.
thats when he uses my mace.

the time i see the light, the joy of being free.
and to obtain it i gave him me.

i new that i what i did was the easy way out of it all.
but now he is alone in his world of an endless hall.

the times have changed, and its his turn for pain.
alone in his world as i have what i needed to gain.

i leave him alone in the dark street city.
where the is nobody else to meet, such a pity.

im going to the place he is not.
a name i havent heard in along time, so i've forgot.

to escape the bounderies of his hell.
the feeling of being free is swell.
