Abandoned Road

Do you ever confront your inner demons? Do they ever speak to you? What do they say?

..Do you believe in revenge?

In the midst of the night,

Abandoned Road- No soul, No light;

she stepped into the black,

exploring deeper the abyss,

but the fear she lacked.

She wrapped herself tightly,

for she sensed a cold, wicked heart behind;

a shadow in the darkness she saw,

a mortal without heart,

who had lost his mind.

He jarred her soul, condemned her pride, slaughtered her heart

and 'help' she cried.

He looked into her eyes,

filled with terror and fright,

oh! a ruthless heart that dodged her cries.

She was left abandoned,

in the midst of the night;

there was no help, no soul, no light.

Unseen, unheard, undone- she was,

an unfinished battle she had to fight.

In the midst of another night,

abandoned road- no soul, no light;

she stepped into the black,

exploring deeper the abyss,

but the fear she lacked.

A ruthless heart, an assailant's mind,

sensed a wicked smile behind.

A familiar face- bruises and scars 

he saw, when the light was dim;

those blemishes belonged to him.

Creeping on road, scrambling for life

screeching in pain,

bloody road and pierced knife;

unheard cries, mercy denied;

justice justified.

She jarred his soul, condemned his pride,

slaughtered his heart and 'help' he cried.

Eyes of fury looked into eyes

filled with terror and fright;

'sweet vengeance' she smiled.

He was left abandoned

in the midst of the night,

there was no help, no soul, no light

unseen, unheard but she was done,

a finished battle she had won.
