Bitterness Lingers In the Autumn Air

Fate has left a bitterness 
lingering In the autumn air
The sky, now stained
like a sheet of glass 
as dusk draws near. 
Children bundled in their 
armor of feathery coats, 
"mothers yelling! 
it's time for them to go."
I'm perched, fixated on 
brick and mortar that once held 
your belongings within. 
Now as empty as the vessel 
that held your vitals in 
Death comes, it comes for us all
it takes us all by the hand 
Those who remain though, 
They remain frozen, 
stuck in the sand. 
This being where I find myself 
as the color changing mosaic 
above me begins fading 
beneath the land. 
I am cursed, 
he took you because of me. 
I became to content, 
happiness filled 
every shadowed crevice 
of my darkened void 
so to spite me 
He took away 
my love, my Joy
I have prayed to God 
I have spoken with the Holy spirit
I have ask for forgiveness 
before my day turns to night
Vengeance, however 
is in my heart
As he is on my mind
The darkness that now consumes me
Is darker than the day has become
La Luna ashamed of his treachery
And his thirst for blood
I'll creep through the shadows 
Lurking through the dark of night
Till I find his hideous soul
By now I'm sure it's buried 
deep within another vessel
I've been given one night 
The time at dusk till dawn
He cannot hide 
not from the gifts 
that were given 
By the ancient one
I have made a pact 
My vengeance, for my life
His death ironically becomes my own
But with my death our soul reunite
We both shall return home.
