A Soul's Unraveling

From depths unknown and waters deep A curse awakens from its sleep Unseen by those who dare to gaze Into the depths of eerie days

A video tape, a hidden curse A warning left, but none can reverse The horror that it brings to bear On those who watch and cannot dare

The images flicker, black and white A haunting presence, an endless blight That creeps and crawls into the mind And leaves a mark that's hard to unwind

The curse takes hold, the days grow dark As death comes calling, cold and stark The images seared, forever bound To those who dare to look around

The ghostly form, with hair and stare A warning left, a soul laid bare The curse will spread, the horror reigns As those who watch are forever changed

The video tape, a symbol true Of what we do, of what we view The haunting presence, ever near A reminder of what we fear.

Beware the curse that lurks within The images that we let in For once they're there, they never leave A warning left, a soul to grieve.

The Shower's Deceit

The shower's stream, a soothing balm Against the day's relentless qualm But terror comes when least expected And in a flash, all is affected

A screeching shriek, a piercing sound The curtain drawn, the scene profound A shadow lurking, a figure poised A life in danger, a fate unvoiced

The knife gleams bright, a deadly tool A frenzied attack, a life to cool The screams are stifled, the blood flows red As life departs, and dreams are dead

But what lies beneath the surface veneer Is a twisted mind, a soul severe A mask of normalcy, a guise so neat But the darkness inside, a beast to defeat

So beware the shower's soothing call For danger lurks, when least expected to maul And the quiet facade, a deceitful veil For monsters may hide, behind a smile so pale.
