beneath the yellow of the solitary lamp post
a dark silhouette of a man
ravenous his red hungry eyes screamed
a lust...a passion...an eerie animalistic intent
between her and this menacing beast
an aura so dark and wan
frantic she turned, her legs quivered
a bird before a snake... petrified of the coming torment
under the thunderous roaring sky
a terrified girl scared and alone
gasping for air, her heels squeaked
a futile attempt to run
over the horizon, the moon hid behind the clouds
a huge shadow enveloped the girl
as she made an attempt to run
he caught her
she gasped
he beat her to the ground
she cried..she wrestled and squirmed
his giant body pinned her down
on that horrendous day, the sky mourned the gloomy sight
of a butterfly getting its wings severed
and a rain that hid her tears
