The Slasher's Prayer by ~winglessangelfa:iconwinglessangelfa:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Horror & Macabre > Fixed




Now I lay me down to wake
I pray the Lord my soul will break
And if I cry before I go
I pray, my Lord, you will not know.

For when I think about your name
I know I'll never be the same
But when I think about your heart
I know I'd rather be apart.

So here I am, before your eyes
I ask not that you sympathize
But just one thing, before I'm free-
I pray, my Lord, remember me.

Just a contorted Lord's Prayer. It was fun to make.
This needs a little explanation. Although it's a Lord's Prayer, it doesn't actually refer to God. I think most of you know who it's for.

Great job with this, there is just something about it, I love the last line of the first and last stanzas, something so calm and different from the rest of the poem. Just a great job, very creative...and *sighs* I wish I could rhyme like that.

I think there's something just horribly off-key about it. It's the most macabre thing I've ever done, I think.

If you tell me to stay, I will stay right through
If you don't want to say anything at all,
I'm happy wondering"

This one took a relatively large amount of time. I wanted it to be perfect.
