This one got a little more graphic then i intended, but i like the way it turned out. Hope you all enjoy a taste of the dark side hahaha.

Little Black Things

Locked in this cellar, there's no coming out,
The creatures outside, from bodies they sprout,
Little red eyes, skin thick, black and blotched,
I dare not find help, the door surely watched,

With razor sharp teeth, they tear at the flesh,
And with little hooked claws, at skin they do thresh,
Their victims still alive, scream for reprieve,
But are given no rest, until the following eve,

Once the poor souls at rest, their bodies still warm,
A new horrid form, these creature adorn,
They drink of the blood, they scream and they howl,
Then out from their stomachs, comes something most foul,

A ball of black maggots, makes its appearance,
And what happens next, defys all coherence,
They crawl for the corpse, you hear their starved squeals,
And from freshly dead flesh, come a hundred dark meals,

But that is not all, im sorry to say,
A short while later, comes a dismal display,
From out of the body, one after another,
Crawl those little black monsters, from their crimson cover,

Off into the night, they hunt and they stalk,
For another new plaything, to make scream and to mock,
Their only desire, to cause pain and to flay,
A life of destruction, the source of dismay.

One little, two little, three little scratches,
Upon the cellar door first one, then two gnashes,
Till the little lithe scratching
Forms a deafening roar,
Till a little black claw finds its way through the door.

They pour in like molasses, though nothing as sweet, hungry for flesh, for that carrion, meat. And as they approach me all set to devour, they find my dead bloated corpse all covered in flour.

When I came to this cellar, I was hardly prepared, within the first day all my rations were bare, I ate piss mixed with flour as long as it would sustain, after a week of the diet it got to my brain.
Rather then seek outside help, half mad, I rolled round in the flour and it mixed with my sweat. After two weeks my liver and kidneys just failed, I was too tired to fight it, malnourished and frail.

When they came back for me, after devouring the world, you wouldn't believe me if I told you they said it...

'This ones delicious, I wish they all came breaded'
