Clementine Mar 2018
Sometimes I just wish I would walk outside,
it would be dark but the moon could light up the night,
And his shadow would be so tall it was touching my feet.

Our eyes could lock and it would be wordless,
We would meet in the middle, his fingers running through my hair,
And we would go back through the door together two souls, one being.

Instead I feel sick as I watch him watching her,
Smiling, she slowly blinks her brown eyes at him,
And he hooks his calm hand around her slim waist.

Her breath catches when he pulls her towards him,
Two bodies becoming one as they embrace, he lifts her chin,
And I realise I’ve opened the wrong door, looked for the wrong soul.
Clementine Mar 2018
He watched as the sky darkened,
Brown leather descending slowly,
Prayed to God he would be pardoned,
Thought of his wife, his one and only.

Last look as the infants wail,
No scraps brought back tonight,
His little legs started to flail,
As he began to shiver in fright.

The human smiled,
His prey had been caught,
And with the glee of a child,
Stamped down his left foot.

— The End —
