...I am the blood...

[charleshatcher]

I am the footsteps that follow behind you
I am the hit man hired to find you
And kill you, for you are the person I'm assigned to
And there is no escape!

I am the blood that spurts and gushes
I am the eyes peering out from the bushes
I am the embarrassing scenes that cause blushes
I'll gag you up with tape

I am the rain clouds
The lightning, the flood
I am the stained shrouds
Of corpses
I am the blood

* * * * * *

I am the nightmares you have in the nighttime
I am the wrong thing happening at the right time
I am the third line that doesn't employ a slight rhyme
Your minutes are numbered, dear

I am the death in your immediate family
I am the pavement which scrapes your elbow and knee
You'll be in so much pain, I'll be glad I am me
And that I slumbered near

I am the rain clouds
The lightning, the flood
I am the stained shrouds
Of corpses
I am the...
I am the wellies
Stuck in the mud
With disemboweled bellies
I am the guts;
I am the blood
