It Lingers II

Standing amongst the carnage in pure gloom

A sly smile hearing the family’s silent screams within the room

His whispers continue to linger, almost a poison in her mind

Expressing its satisfaction of their playtime

Though time felt still, darkness continued to grow dense,

Entrapping her young soul with suffocation.

Once pure of innocence, pupils dying with despair,

Its vile influence now within every strand of hair.

Such depth in torment, an ounce of life seeking to be free,

But with its relentless hold, there is no chance to become free.

The whispers contorting, feeding on the pain,

Dragging her deeper down, abandoning her mental state.

Bloodied hands, tears staining her cheeks, wandering the night,

Becoming a mere puppet in its twisted plight.

Her mind at battle, light and darkness at odds,

With its wickedness in her ears, she’ll soon be gone.

Drifting deeper into madness, consumed by abandon,

A once bright smile, now coincides with Its intention.

Hollowed white eyes, soulless, bowing down to be Its tool,

Now a vessel, Its slave to obey Its rule.

Roaming among the shadows,

Now engulfed in darkness with no sight of hope.

When It makes a demand, hesitation to obey is no more,

For she answers to Its desires, forever lost in its sway.
