Ring Around The Rosey...

by Hidden Writer

Rated: E · Poetry · Dark · #1460896

A little deadly of course...

...ring around the rosey...
i sit as darkness slowly surrounds me
...a pocket full of poseys...
the enemy creaps in so softly i am unaware of its presence
...ashes ashes...
its cold hands grab hold of me, strangling my heart
...we all fall down...
as i fall once again to the earth, a cold dark sky blankets me
