The Boogeyman

I use to hear it often
Repeated
Constantly
In whispers
And in wails

Eerie
And alarming
And
Urban myth like sounding

Everyone knew someone
Who knew someone?
Who knew someone?
Who had a friend like her?

A girl,
So in love with love.
She fell in love with
Lies
Who introduced her
To deceit
Who toyed with her heart?
And impregnated her with hate.
Which blinded her sight?
And deafened her ears
imprisoning her soul several life times.

So now……………………………

I tell the tale
Repeatedly
Constantly
In whispers
And in wails

Eerie
And alarming
And urban myth sounding
How that girl
Use to my friend
Before the boogeyman stole her
