The day grew overcast
The color grey
painted the sky
She drew herself up
The cool mist
caressing her
ravaged body
The day was hers
Never again
would she fall prey to violence
How beautiful
the many shades of grey
As the dew
soothed her
savaged heart and soul
Yes, the day was hers
He would never
hurt her again
She thought
as she pulled her
knife from his chest.
