The eerie hush of the forest,
Enveloped in white snow,
Is unsettling, haunting.
Alone, are you?
Can you hear me?
Wander lost through the trees,
My land, enclosed,
Nothing but skeletal trunks for miles,
I am everywhere;
Can you not see me?
Better hurry quick,
Night is falling upon us.
I stretch my legs
And crack my fingers,
And I watch you
Going deeper into my forest.
Knowing your heart,
I can see right through you,
I know she who matters most.
A pause, wait, complete silence,
I watch the sun disappear.
Darkness descends upon my forest
When I call your name –
But in her voice, and terrified.
Scared, now, are you?
You are alone –
Yet she calls to you.
Horrified, lost just as you are,
Her voice trembles.
Yes, look for her,
Stumbling in the snow,
The icy night hanging heavy.
Find she who loves you,
She whom you love.
But she is not here, is she?
No – you find yourself alone.
Alone, except for me.
I lay in wait in the shadows,
Trails of blood in the snow
From my footsteps,
Criss-crossed among the trees.
She calls your name once more
When you stumble upon my footsteps.
A look of mortification
Is frozen upon your face,
And you shake in fear.
My shadow stretches upon the snow,
Dark in the moonlight,
And it falls upon you.
My cold smile is haunting,
My figure that from hell;
My icy heart does not beat,
Gleaming from my exposed ribcage.
In a moment, it is over,
Your life ended in my hand.
Your blood drips from my teeth,
Your heart between my fingers.
I feel my body stretch slowly
As I grow from your sacrifice,
As your soul fuses with mine.
