Swallowed up by hungry eyes- crying for sweet demise. Just a taste of emptiness, makes you crave the taste you miss. Black like endless love you loose. Lost like hope, you sing the blues. Sorrow sounds like every word-Spoken by those who never heard. Screaming loud- you need to know. Sadness drowns you by letting go. The grip that holds your heart in place- love left behind without a trace. You never wanted it to go away. You cannot stop it from turning grey. Turning black like a bruise. No matter what you always loose. Can never save a soul will break. A dying light, a life at stake. Candle lit- the burning flame. Remember when the monster came. Scared you so much, your body shakes. Hiding in the darkest place. Waiting for its chance to break free. Escape only to capture me. Keep me like a pet in chains. Tortured the only part that remains. So empty now there’s nothing to take. Your hungry eyes, your heart they ate.

BARE HUNTER
CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
