Sevenfold

By Shewolf

You once said,

'We get so few choices in Life.'

I thought at the time...

'We get more than you think...'

I was wrong...

The "Butterfly Effect" kisses us all
with the searing lips
Of a Demoness.

Actions or decisions
Born of innocence
Harboring no Malice
become twisted and Cruel
as they travel their path
spreading Chaos and Destruction.

Rarely have I done good,
Or helped those in need
that I wasn't repaid

With Evil.

Sevenfold.

Your words ring true now.
Echoing in the void that was once my life.

"The only real choice we have is when and how we choose to face Death."

The how has been chosen...
Thanatos follows closely by my side
waiting for the when...

Often we ourselves look upon a situation and don't really see how complex it truly is. Great job in describing it in this poem!
