No Mercy

it ended in a path into the woods
tears and screaming
accusations
and no mercy
ugly ugly face and words
blame 
and betrayal

he hung his head speechless
no longer could he defend this woman's evil soul
her unnatural stirrings
her nocturnal habits
her turning away

years of combat had weakened his marital state
suprised he felt
nothing
pain
nothing
nothing 
numb

he turned
and walked away
careful to watch his back
she stood screaming at the woods
he no longer obeyed, he didn't need her.

Majestic, the way you tell the story for the opposite like it was coming out of your own soul ... powerful and awesome. Love always
