'Effect'

By Egypt

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Her life went on as normal as it could The spell almost forgotten, but the vision withstood Asleep in her bed on a late summer's eve Unaware of the darkness she had actually conceived She heard a knock on the door and she quickly rose Looking out the window, her heart suddenly froze There on her step he stood, shoulders hunched low Looking as though he received a deathblow She opened the door and he held her close They went to her room quiet, on tiptoes He laid on the bed and she laid next to him As he began the story, he told how she did him in Butcher knives, uncontrollable fits he told She shivered hard as the events began to unfold The spell worked, but worked too well Still not realizing that she had fell She held him close as he drifted to sleep Tears of her own, were hard to keep She slipped outside and looked to the rising sun 'So It Shall Be Written, So It Shall Be Done' Written February 6th, 2002 © on Feb 17 2002 01:28 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
