Your eyes glistened brighter with each blow
The distant sirens, whispered hope
Tethered silently in rope
With nowhere left to run
Promise to be good
You said, taunting
Me with your
Garish
Grin

Got to be careful when staring into other eyes. Never know what will happen.
Ahh I was thinking this might have been darkly amusing given the Perkins pic from the end of the film - it wasn’t ! 😳 What a nasty Nonet! Top job. 👏
This one pisses me off, especially the ending, which means you wrote it perfectly. And that pic could not be a better fit. Guy looks like an arrogant lunatic.
The vivid imagery and poignant words create a powerful impact, drawing us into the depths of the emotions portrayed, love your works, thanks for sharing!
Damn ,let it end well , excellent
"Shiver" ... Creepy. I like it. Definitely time to be ... broken up ...
