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.
