Saving my soul...
So she thought!
It was taken from her in a flash.
She saw nothing of this monster.
Only the gleaming eyes,
In the dark.
The sight of red,
But not blood...
But as good as.
She wasn't sure,
Who or what the creature was.
But she distanced herself.
Her soul now unsafe.
She may cling to it,
Until her knuckles are white.
But she cannot hold on for long,
Soon the creature will return.
The claws, will snatch it..
The creature of the dark..
Shall return for his prize.
It shall be here soon...
Not just for the soul but for her.
The creature came...
The creature has a suit of red...
An arrow through the middle...
Still confused.... the girl remained sane
But the creature came again,
Just two nights past.
Came for the girl... Only to find.
That she was already gone.
Even as her body remained.
She could not live without the creature...
She needed it to survive.
Inside it tore her apart,
The creature that was hunting... Was indeed her heart!
