Description
With a simple
Child like smile
The axe man says
Please come out and play
It’s such a nice day
I don’t know what to think
He has laid the axe to me
So many times
I am afraid
But he seems so nice today
He beckons me
Like he cares
And I want to believe
More than anything I want to believe
That he really cares for me
Nervous and afraid
Head looking down
Like I am the one
Who should be ashamed
I step out
Trying to look up
Without lifting my head
He has that same child like smile
But there is a different look in his eyes
There is great delight in his heart
For the pain
He is about to inflict on me
The mighty axe
Lays to my root
Cutting me down again
Leaving me laying in my blood
To hurt to cry
To weak to fight
The axe man got
Exactly what he wanted
He only hurt my body
But he killed my hope
As always if you were told to walk up to door, be the first to leave. Stand like a proud peacock for the whole world to see and then you were told to step down to get out of the way for the people who really count then this poem is for you. Haha this poem really is for a couple of my friends. :) and me
