31 DAYS OF HORROR – LINK UP IN COMMENTS
Written by ERIC KEYS and HastyWords ~2013Blood shot eyes stared back from the darkness Unholy nights visiting with no holding out allowed Time slides languid, no taking back choices made In love with you I fell into hell before having died And I learned regret was the devil’s common maiden name You were like a chain on my soul, beautifully free Creating a new being, using me, taunting me You were the one who was always there holding me You grew in me, blossoming inside of me Under your wise tutelage, I gave you my beating heart During the day we studied, constantly We learned every forbidden philosophy And at night you instructed me, erotically In the arts of pleasuring you, loving you You would drive me to the edge, over and over With rope and words, hands and tongues Until my soul was in a quivering state of want Needy lashes of your hot, sticky lust Filling me, covering me, marking me, burning me Dirtying me, dirty demon, dirty me “No regrets” was your command, you captured me Taking me and robbing me, slowly and methodically Of every ounce of humanity, morality turned to shame You plucked from me, stealing love from my life Showing me over and over its cruel and punished fate My brother’s screams a constant echo in my ears And to my spoiled niece, the one who called me “Crazy Uncle Tom”, you did things, diabolical things Numbing every feeling in me from a created horror felt Using your devices, you trapped me, tutored me You looked at me gauging my reaction,my allegiance “No regrets,” I said, I am left with no more choices You stole from me each and every bit of love I held Thieved from me all humanity that was born in me This was my initiation, my new birth was your hunger fed And then you would look at me each time Brow arched wondering how completely you had me “No regret,” I would say and you would smile Because regret is the Devil’s common maiden name And then she whispered good and took my hand I have no urge to see your father just yet
Wow. Very well done!

I’m enjoying the words I’ve found in this cool, dark place.
My piece isn’t exactly horror, however, it’s part of a series about a family in which a great deal of creepy, Lovecraftian stuff happens.
