“If we played tag,
You’d be it forever.
It’s the dawn of a new era,
And you’re about to sever.”
That’s what she said to me,
Before she grabbed me by my hair.
She dragged me all around,
Then finally into her lair.
She held me hostage,
Tortured me every way.
Made me feel the guilt,
And said I would pay.
I told her I couldn’t control love,
And he fell for me.
Tried opening her eyes,
So she could finally see.
She still wanted revenge,
Over things I couldn’t control.
After torturing me some more,
Death would surely take it’s toll.
She told me she’d let me go,
If only I broke up with him.
But I would rather die,
Then ever let her win.
In that game of tag,
No one ever won.
I would die again for him.
Because he was the one.
I tried writing a scary poem for Halloween and this is how it turned out. Interesting.
