Axe Pretender

Tortured innocence chained to moldy dungeon walls,
Maniacal, evil heathen keeps the lass hidden from the light,
Parents terrified at the thought of their daughter's demise,
The young girl was tricked into the madman clutches,
Roaches and flies feed and breed upon her tattered flesh,
Ripped asunder by the talons of his spiteful weapon,
Ball and chain with spikes adorning the mallet to puncture her soul,
Spirit detached and levitating to witness the horrors to spell her end,
Glorious release as the razor-sharp machete slices her milky white throat,
Ghostly apparition stalks the author of her fate,
The hairs on his neck stand to attention at her feathery touch,
He breathes his last breath as his beating heart is plucked from his chest,
The phantom smiles gleefully as she disappears and fades into the mists.
