Soul Taker



The dark engulfs the room,
The mood sets to gloom.
The screams grow loud,
Im afraid this is all my body can allow.
Through the black I see a simple child,
Her eyes are as black as her soul,
My heart beat begins to roll.
She takes my hand and leads me to a place,
I feel so misplaced.
Pits of fire blaze up high,
as people begin to fly.
Dead stares across the misfourtune faces,
As they wish they had lived their lives at different paces.
Satan has their souls locked in his dungeon,
Their sins have made them what they are,
I cant take it anymore I have went to far.
There he stands with all his power,
His thrown nothing but a body tower.
I scream out "why am I here,"
As I chock back through my tears.
" Live your life in the way desired,
But let me tell you something little girl your soul I will acquire."
I hear another scream and it jolts me to reality,
I look around to realize I am in my bed,
"What a dream," I say as my pillow meets my head.
