Diary of the Faint Hearted

Okay guys...I have never ran a competition before, but would like to give it a try.

I am a HUGE horror fan. I love to get scared. So, here is the real challenge. I want you all to compose a poem/story that will send chills running down my spine. I want to be so scared that I won't be able to finish reading...or that I won't want to stop reading. Rules and guidelines:

1.) Must be something new. No writting about a serial killer or movie. Trust me, I watch a lot and will be able to tell if it's not original. If you write about one and I find out..I will re-quote you and that specific poem will be disqualified. (You may enter 2 still...one in place of the first.

2.) If it is going to upset the others please use a discloser at the beginning of the post claiming to have some graphic content. Please and Thanks.

3.) Only 2 entires per person..I don't want to have to read 100 entires from a single person...stratch that. I REFUSE to read more then 2. If any more then 2 are posted that I will read the oldest dated two. And the other ones will be automatically dusqualified. If need be that I have read your poem and you wouldl ike to modify it..please send me a PM titled 'Modified Entry' and I will revise the information given.

im not very good a HORROR but ill post a couple of my dark poems to see if they work 4 u

-Needless Revenge-

I loved her
I really did,
But she betrayed me.
And because she betrayed me,
She has to pay!

I went to her house that dark, dark night
The one night that even the demons from the hell wouldn’t come to earth
It’s the one night that neither the almighty god
Nor the almighty devil can or will touch me
For my fury burns all around me

I went to her house while she was playing with her new boy toy
I slipped into the back yard
And in through the back window with ease
She nor her boy saw or heard me coming for them

Within seconds they are unconscious
I drag their limp bodies down the stairs
Thump, thump, thump
Their heads bounce off the stairs
I tie their hands to the poles in the ceiling
I tie them so that they face each other

I get my knife, set it on the table
I throw ice water onto their bodies
As soon as she sees me her face morphs into inhuman hatred
I look her in the eyes and tell her "watch"
"You should enjoy this"
I grab the knife and throw it at her boy

He screams a scream that the Banshee's would be scared of
I rip the knife down
Nearly ripping his arm off in the process
Blood gushes out and covers my hand and the floor
She looks disgusted, I’m happy, but still hungry for revenge
I cut his bonds
He is still screaming
He looks at me and freezes, and says "w-what are you?"
I say your worst nightmare
I jump on top of him and punch him 1, 2, 3, 10 times in rapid succession
I disembowel his other arm
Rip his legs free from his body
Then I rip out his heart and put it in Her mouth
I cut her down and push her to her knees
I cut off her head, and watch her dead body spasm
I lay down in the red pool of death that I created
I fall into endless dreams of sweet bloody bliss

I love Needless Revenge

i might have gone over 500 words but this is my darkest 1... if there are to many words then pm me and i will post a different 1

-Revenge-

I walk home after school,
I put the key in the door.
BANG!
I hear a single gunshot.
I slam through the door to find out what happened,
My pops stands over my mom’s nearly lifeless body with a gun.
I run to my ma, she is taking in shallow gasps of air,
I can hear the pain in her breathing.
“MA! MA!” I cry to her, awaiting a response,
She smiles at me and gasps, “I love you.”
…..
She passes on the afterlife,
Wherever that is after this life.
All of a sudden I feel something in me snap,
I stand up, tears on my face, blood on my shirt.
I glare at my old man,
“WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!” I scream at him,
He looks at me like it is none of my business.
I run to the kitchen,
I grab a butchers knife.
I run back to the living room,
I repeat “What did you do!?!?,” with restrained anger.
He says “what are you gonna do boy?”
I slash with the knife releasing all the anger and pain in the world in one single blow,
He still lives, he raises his gun, he fires.
I deflect it off the knife, it ricochets in to his right shoulder,
I’m pissed off he still lives.
I jump onto him, I slash and stab, with a fury even the Gods would envy,
My bloody father finally takes his final breath.
I should be in shock,
But all I feel is justice.
I spit on his face as my final disgrace to him,
I run out the door knowing that it will only be a matter of time.
Only a matter of time until I face it again,
Until I face the beauty of Revenge.

No, they are both very good. Thank you for your post And I am easy on the words..I just don't want to read pages of a single post. xD

Confusion and Animosity

[not really poetic]

Winter of 2001. Nadia was fed up with the life she was living. She lived with her cruel parents in Iowa. They had moved there when she was just a young girl. Her days would consist of work, and excruciating beatings from her father. Her mother was weak and could do nothing against him.
Nadia fell in love with a guy, who lived in the same area. Her father disaproved, and she was forbidden to see him. But, risking her dear life, she would see him nearly everynight. He knew of her cruel father, and would hold her tight, and gently touch the bruises and scrapes. His touch soothed her.
One night, Nadia had forgotten to close the window, after she left. Her father could feel a chill as he walked by her door. Of course, he walked in and realised she was gone. He found her, by the river, with her lover. Angered by her disobedience, he charrged at the guy with rage. But, he was prepared, he turned and faced the man, and stuck the dagger in the heart of the beast. Nadia was now free.
She turned and started kissing her lover. "thank you, now we can be together forever." He looked at her as she cut his throat. Nadia was a sucubus, and her father had tried to keep her away from the guy.

I was told as girl to never go in the woods
I heard stories of terrible beasts and mystical beings that lurked behind the shadows
But like any other child, I wanted to explore
I put on my red coat, and made my way into the darkness
It all was silent as I crept through the trees
The birds quit chirping, there was not even a breeze
Fear gripped my hand in an icey grasp
I knew my journey would not long last
My hair stood on end
As I made it around the trails bend
He blocked my path, and my view

I looked at the strange boy
He had wild brown hair, and torn fragments of clothes
Are you alone?
I reach out towards him
He growled fiercley and spoke with venom
You have tested fate, and now you will pay!

I don't recall much after that, but I awoke and found myself cursed
A werewolf

@ Danii: I liked it..nice twist at the end there.

UndeadBeauty: Wow! That actually reminds m of a story I wrote when I was little..it was called 'Haunting Memories. I enjoy that one quite a bit. Very well done.

Great job you two :)

Dark Lover in a Camaro

Dark deeds unflawed by remorse
Nothing guilt touched nor sense
Murder of souls, deeded  to devils
Or minions of the underworld
Have nothing to it indeed
This is the tale that I will tell
Of such dark deeds as yet untold
The house at the top of the hill
Where two women fair used to dwell
A man did come and stay one day
O but what a handsome man was he
He wooed and won the hearts
Of both the maiden in a row
The eldest during the consummation
Was fed a sleeping portion
It made her sleep all night you see
The potion was strong  indeed
The younger he did lavish love
So fine and fun that she did scream
For more and more and many between
The leash off her maiden confine
She did enjoy
But when midnight came, he did transform
To a hideous beast he was
A cross of wolf, serpent and worm
He took her pleasure to the brim
Of madness with his expertise
He mated with her without and within
And in his pleasure he burst her in
Her seams all gone splattered on the wall
The gore and blood from her body
Drained on the floor with nothing to pick
A tired man he was when he transformed
And cleaned the floor of all the bloody trash
Next night the older woman woke
To an ardent lover all unrestrained
Lapping her up from head to toe
She was engulfed in passionate throes
Oh how she cried for more and more
Of the pleasure that went up and down
Her supple pretty body, so unclad
The owl did screech
The banshees scream
For when she reached her passion extreme
He turned to beast once again
And fed on her  with passionate ravenousness
That dawn did come with hollow light
The house on the hill was silent
A lone man drove away
Black clad in his silver Camaro
A smile on his face

The Joys Of School

Breakfast time
get up at eight
skip breakfast so im not late

School time
get my books and
fall in hallway
when I get up everyone is laughing
even the teachers
I hate it when people trip me

In class
I sit alone and wait
for the taunting to begin
I wish i could write in my notebook
but the teacher saw me writing last class
and made me read what i had written to the class
it was a love poem about the girl i liked
she cried and ran away
not because she was happy
but because I humiliated her
everyone makes fun of her now
I wish I wasnt a cowered
then I could kill myself

Lunch
I hide in the library
and pray that they wont find me
I cant eat in the library
so i ignore the hunger that I feel
if I go outside
I know that
the meen kids will attack me
they surround me like a pack of hungry dogs
theres no escaping them once they get me
so here I spend my lucnchs
alone

After school
I walk home
its a hour walk to my broken home in the country
but at least im not by myself
my ipod is with me
my ipod is my only friend
and the music
is the only person who ever talks to me
in a nice way
this is the highlight of my day

At home
my dad left before I was born
sometimes my mom comes home late
and sometimes she doesnt come home at all
I wish I wasnt alone

My wish is granted
and instantly i wish it wasnt
SMASH
glass shatters
and I feel the breeze
coming from the hole in my house
were my window once was

Outside I can see the girl of my dreams
she opens the passenger door
to her car
and screams at her boyfriend
she tells him to leave me alone
for a second
I almost believe
that they will leave me
alone with my self sympathy

Then he pushs her away
my heart lurchs
as I watch her fall to the ground
then it gets worse

He opens the door to my house
and not for the first time I wish that the door had a lock
he looks around
then our eyes meet
there is a glint in his eyes
as he walks closer to me
he shouts
I tremble
he punches
I fall
I try to defend myself
but its no use
the blows just keep coming
its a relentless attack
and then
it stops

I look up and see her
she is standing between me and him
I can feel the tears fall done my face
not because of the pain
but because no one has ever stood up for me before

She pleads
he shoves her aside
his face is as red
as a can of beans at a BBQ
I almost manage a smile
when his fist comes crashing down
on my face again

She tries to push him away
he turns around and
gives her a right hook to the nose
she falls down and gasps for air
he starts panicking
he says that he is sorry
but he isnt
at least not yet
but he will be

I slowly get up
my knees are shaking
I can barely stand
but I know what I must do
I muster up as much strength as I can
and kick him
I miss and fall over
always falling over
he looks down at me and says
You! This is your fault! You fucking faggot!

He pulls out a knife
and stabs me
and stabs me again
its like someone took a handful of glass
shoved it in my stomach
and then wrenched it
and the pain doesnt go away
it only gets worse

She runs up to him
she slaps him
and screams
in retaliation he takes his blade
thrusts it in her stomach and makes an arch in her
it kinda looks like a smiley face
until her guts fall to the floor

He slowly backs away
I can see the fear in his eyes
as he turns his back to me
and runs away

As I look at her body on the floor next to me
I realize that this is all her fault
if she had never existed
I never would of wrote
that stupid poem
and I would be alone right now
with my music and my notebook
and my lonesomeness

Even though it hurts like hell
with the last bit of my strength
I reach out and grab her hand
and I use my final breath to say

I LOVE YOU

Robbed At Gunpoint

It was an ordinary day
October 16th
Work was okay
Got off at 7:15
Went home by train
Everything was fine
Until a stranger came
And asked me for the time
I responded 8:41
He thanked me and then
Pulled out a gun
Placed it under my chin
Demanded my stuff
My wallet and my phone
His exterior was tough
We both were alone
Just me and him
On a quiet strip
Dark and dim
I wasn't equipped
With any protection
I was so defenseless
I was his selection
He really meant business
His grip started to tighten
Almost squeezing the trigger
I surrendered my items
His breath reeked of liquor
He asked if I'll snitch
I answered him no
He said "You better not bitch."
Finally he let me go
I'll admit I was traumatized
For a few days
That night I could've died
Caught off guard I was phased
Still I got through it
Luckily I survived
I felt so stupid
But thank God I'm alive

"Haunted"

It was quarter to 12,
Emily's alone lying in her white cold bed,
Suddenly she heard a noise she rushed down stairs,  
It was coming from the lawn, she grasped some air,  
She went to the kitchen and took a knife,  
She walk through the back door  
As she silently prays everything's going to be alright  
She saw a teenage girl hiding behind the bush  
As she turned her head she saw a woman lying beside the pool  
And then a guy whom she knows not worth trusting  
She hid herself and watched terrified at what's happening  
The woman was raped, torn, he ripped her flesh,  
He cut her throat with the knife he took from her grip,  
He broke her neck, blood flowing through her vest,  
The woman's dying, screaming for some help  
Emily couldn't help her! She's so afraid she might be next,  
She could only see the woman's red eyes,  
Staring at her half awake, half dead,
The guy dig a hole and buried her there,
then he walks away with an evil grin on his face.  
Emily knows her step father is wicked,
But her mom trust him, she will never believe her,  
She remembered the girl who's hiding behind the bush,  
Emily walks towards her, she sense fear in her eyes,
And then she spoke to Emily's surprise,  
"Please Aunt Emily, it's been a long time!  
Stop haunting this place! You've been dead for more than 25!  
Grandfather is not here, 12 years ago he died!  
Please Auntie, find peace, find the light!  
you must go to the other side!"  
Stunned as Emily begun to cry...  
Sobbing in fears, she didn't realized she saw herself died!

Evil Must Be Stopped

His motives are deadly
His footsteps are heavy
His face is horrific
His stare is acidic
A hole burning through me
It burns like hell fire
A live horror movie
Situations become dire
Reflexes of a panther
He hunts bystanders
Eats them for lunch
All you hear is crunch
As he munches his victims
Digesting their flesh
Flush them out his system
He wants something fresh
Saliva hangs
From his yellowish fangs
The smell of his breath
It reeks of death
The sound of his growl
Vibrates in my ear
A sign he's on the prowl
It's time to disappear
I run through town
Hopping over torn bodies
Carcasses all around
The creature had a party
A hand here, a foot there
Body parts everywhere
A carpet of blood
Lined the streets
I saw my best bud
A shredded treat
As I scream and wail
He's still on my tail
Skin so pale
With hard rough scales
And long sharp nails
Infected with fungus
His appetite's humongous
I dodge as he lunges
I run into a church
He smashed through the bricks
While I'm on a wild search
For a certain crucifix
This one is made of silver
Doubling as a dagger
To impale the mutated killer
Damn I better stagger
To avoid getting caught
And being his next meal
To myself all I thought
That this couldn't be real
He leaps full throttle
Oh my God I'm going to die!
Then I throw an open bottle
Of holy water at his eye
Yes an opportunity
To find that silver cross
Got to save the community
Before all hope is lost
I stumble on a dead priest
And there it was the crucifix
Now to slay the beast
And end this horror flick
A long epic fight
Between the two of us
When the time was right
I stabbed his guts
He instantly incinerated
Burned to dust
My hometown I saved it
I did what I must
