Running for Life
Step after step I drag myself through the rain
Blind to all around me , my mind closed to the pangs of pain.
Fear, hatred and panic screaming in my head, loathing coursing in my veins.
Step after blooded step, I run and yet it is gaining.
I stumble and fall , legs and arms grazed I crawl no point in complaining.
Hot breath on my neck I shudder in fear I smell his rank sweat as he draws near.
I feel his claws scrape at my flesh, I loose a scream of primal fear.
Ripping at my dress and hair I run for my life, to look over my shoulder I don’t dare.
No choices left to me, naught I can do . I stand and face the beast for death I prepare.
Eyes red as the devil, pure evil it seems, closing on me, my worst of dreams.
Caught in his clutches, mercy is not on the cards, so I beg for divine intervention.
His nostrils flaring, baring his fangs letting me live is not his intention.
Finally all I can do is fall on my knees and pray , why must this horror be my last of day.
Suddenly after a thunderous noise a white flash as lightening carved him in half God be praised.
Broken and bleeding I lay in the mud,my life slipping out of me no fight left no more……..
