Peaceful Day

A house,
secluded in the woods..
Away from city life,
fresh air,
the quiet life..
I see you..
A family,
with their daily routine,
living the dream..
Im thinking..
Kids playing in the woods,
parents sipping tea on the porch,
dog tied up for the night..
I'm coming for you..
Night falls,
lights go out,
whispers become heavy breathing..
Dog is dead..
Window left open,
floors carpeted,
stairs covered in tile..
The children are dead..
Door left ajar,
curtains wide open,
husband tied up while I slit the wives neck..
He struggles against the ropes..
Collecting souvenirs,
place the bodies at his feet,
his tears are flowing freely,
my eyes he will not meet..
What a peaceful day..
Light a match,
and walk away..
