Last Lies Under the Bridge

Intricately planned, all eventualities covered No more excuses, thickly buttered When darkess falls, She'll be rid of the pain After everything, she'll never see him again. Lie after lie, empty promises, fuelled with deception destruction, humiliation untold dejection No more pushing, no more bloody punches She's found the truth to all those founded hunches Now he'll pay for the damage that lies deep that made her crumble to the bottom of the heap but now she's strong, now she's vexed Now she knows what's coming next Conversation overheard, etched the plan to rid her of that demon man In shadows she follows surreptitiously in the hollows inviolable now with evil as her guide love and protection, for so long denied made her turn to satan's side She with equanimity, her mind on avaunce Primed for the deed, she knows her sentence He's to late to beg for his repentance He's unaware of the death knell Moonlight casts a lurid luminence, a black magic spell His last tryst once more under the bridge, lit his cigarette Like an apparition before him, his face she wouldn't forget Stupified, eyes open wide who would speak for him Jekyll or Hyde just about to say ! but he didn't have a chance She blasted him away!

Very vivid and dark write, thank you for recommending it. The abused rising up to kill their abuser. Justice served. Well done.

whoa whoa whoa... you cant just kill people O_o. you have to look for any little good inside all the bad... look into the future, not the past... if nothing else he made you stronger. he gave you the insight to know what you want and by neglecting you he empowered you to get it. what happens in our life only helps mold us into who we are, but mostly its choice ;)
