Life Taken

By ColorMeToxic

Even though she's gone

Her shadow remains

Her body is withered

Her ghost can't be tamed.
 

She's mad as hell

And will roam the earth

Until the earth is no more

Than rubble and dirt.
 

She whispers to he

who caused her demise

"I will haunt you forever

and so will your lies."
 

She can't be laid to rest

'til they find her.

Until then her shadow

Will haunt her killer.

    you can almost see the damaged vengeful soul stalking the beast that brought her to her end. Sad the evil allowed to roam this earth.

    "I will haunt you forever and so will your lies", awesome! That is so cool. I love the imagery here. The punishment for what he did, and the pain he caused you, amazing. Great write:)
