• Dark night
    Creeping in
    Silent
    Still

    He walks in
    Finds the bedroom
    Pulls it out
    Sinks it in
    Her sleeping flesh

    Scarlet rain
    Breath gone
    Deed
    done.


    She wakes up
    And finds her
    Cold and gone
    Spirit has gone

    The tears
    Begin to fall
    Panicked screams
    Wishing she was wrong

    Grabs the phone
    Hands shaking
    They arrive
    Say she's gone

    But he left
    A part of himself behind
    They say
    It might be enough


    Two years pass
    Gavel crash
    Cell doors
    Slam

    She knows
    In her heart
    That justice
    Has been served.
