Redemption

Redemption
As raging seas reach a blustering boil
Gloomy, dark clouds construct a squall
Her eyes appear as furious fire
Stubbornly oblivious, to it all

So harshly evicted from her home
Burned into her a symbol and shamed 
For an evil bed of lies thrown forth
By he who's love, was once acclaimed

With a loaded musket, by her side
She prays her aim to be most true
Redemption in the form of blood
His demise, and naught else would do

He selfishly counts his ill gained bounty 
As she gives her wolf partner a nod
Her assailants demeanor will rightly change
When she exposes his blood and facade!
