Embers

[CRNDLSM]

A slash like smile,
cleaves faces in two.
Predators;
bait the killing room. You want the punctuation to be like there's no line breaks.  Forgive the rewrite but this is how I read it:

A slash-like smile
cleaves faces in two;
predators
bait the killing room.

Like freaks at a carnival,
with words that disembowel.
Feigning to be civilized,
"O how politely they growl. Quotation at the beginning here where does it end? Also compared to the rest this lines inversion seems forced even though I like the rhyming.

A nightmare breathed life,
Like true monsters Grimm.
Waiting in the shadows;
torturous, is their offering. Now I'm hearing a fairytale voice and want some mark Twain kind of styling offerin' to rhyme with grimm

The darkness is unbending unbendin'
As like blackest obsidian.
Fires that once burned;
embers flicker and dimm. I like the last line too

I'm interested to see what else you have thanks for sharing
