Sep 2016
With moon beams creating her only light,
She slithers like a serpent in the night.
A soul charred from a sordid life gone wrong,
Desperately sought a place to belong.

Evil invited and held out its hand,
Giving her reign of darkness in the land.
A broken heart given such deadly power,
Scores to settle and lives to devour.

Each night searching under starlit cover,
Seeking revenge on her unfaithful lover.
The hounds from hell cloaked in disguise,
Trailing the scent that led to her demise.

Crimson tears fall marking this lonely path,
Only giving her courage and strengthening wrath.
Adorned in blind deceit, cloaked in madness,
She would find a way to end her sadness.

The vows were written, bridesmaid's were dressed,
She was demanding the love he professed.
The tables now turned, he'd taught her so well,
Bound forever....beyond the gates of Hell.
