Watching with horror

As the carnage begins ~ as republished

I watch with horror as a newfound friend

Comes to a frightful sticky dead end

I see mirrors break

Remake

Then break again

Fighting to be rid of them

Torrents of rain

Demon dolls dancing

Bedevilment in store

Mothers wading through oceans of gore

Axemen appearing from cobwebby shadow

Sane people crazy

Go mad and yet though

Loved ones bear with 'em

Try to protect them

It all ends in nightmare

I don't want to go there

Again but I guess I must

And so if you need to know

More you must trust me

To say all I can say

And that I will do

If you come back on Thursday

I'll tell the tale through

So if answers you must have

Here is my plea

Come back at midnight

And I will tell thee


And here it is: The Conjuring Last Rites

Thanks for reading and hope you like the review
