The Patient Who Kills Patients

Yet he once was a patient too?

The Patient Who Kills Patients

He lies like stone

still as death

breath shallow, slow

a final breath

No fever burns

no pain to show

just eyes like pits

where nightmares grow

He waits for night

when guards are weak

silent steps

no voice to speak

His touch is cold

his skin is ice

one look from him

and death feels nice

They say he came

broken and lost

but left behind

a line of ghosts

No nurse will hold

no doctor stay

when he moves close

you fade away

No mercy here

no chance to plead

he feeds on fear

and silent need

In shadows deep

he walks alone

no flesh, no bone

When darkness falls

and lights grow thin

he takes his victim

and sinks within

No scream is heard

no tears to weep

just endless sleep

the patient’s keep
